This is the third powerful explosion over the past three days, who has the highest grade of activity — X. this was reported on Friday, September 8, RIA Novosti with reference to the Physical Institute of the Academy of Sciences (FIAN).

Scientists report that the Earth is a magnetic storm, the strength of which reaches four points on a scale that exceeds the predicted values. In Canada, which at the moment is on the night side of the Earth, there are strong auroras.

A series of solar flares began on 4 September.

This is about the fifth part of the energy radiated by the Sun per second, and all the energy that will develop people in a million years (subject to its production with modern pace).
