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!

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
