Sun news update: Explosive region fires 14 flares

Posted on by Administrator

Today’s top story: While recent X-flare-producing sunspot region AR4114 didn’t blast any M or X flares over the past day, it’s kept up some impressive activity. Of the 25 C flares fired over the past 24 hours, AR4114 produced an impressive 14 of them. This region remains the largest and most magnetically complex on the disk, so don’t be surprised if it produces some more major flares.
