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.

The most powerful flares observed on the Sun, emit into the environment tremendous energy. A few minutes into space, it takes about hundreds of billions of megatons of TNT. 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).
