Substorm starting over Yellowknife now, propagating from the east! Very bright aurora outshining the nearly-full moon. Impressive!

After an hour of near X-class flare levels, the Sun is calming down (for now). This active region is not finished however, with further strong X-class flares inevitable at this point!

The Sun produced nineteen X-class solar flares in 2025, down from 50+ in 2024. Out of these 19, only five were above the X2.0 level (compared with twenty in 2024)! Here is a video showing the top ten strongest flares from last year.
Last night’s moderate #SolarFlare likely released more energy than the majority of larger X-class events. Why? Flare classifications are determined by the flare’s *peak* emission. Although last night’s flare capped at an M3 level, it continued releasing energy for over 12 hours!

this has been a good one. nostalgic
Active region AR 14246 on the Sun has woken up over the past 24 hours, producing four moderate (M-class) solar flares. The region will soon rotate out of the Earth-strike zone, but certainly has the potential to trigger much stronger (X-class) solar flare events.
A: you can’t. it’s not possible to know the future. empirical relations only extrapolate so far forward
