Scientists have recorded 10 solar flares in eight hours.

There were 10 solar flares in eight hours. This was announced on November 9 at the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Institute of Space Research (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"Today, there have already been 10 outbreaks in the first eight hours, which again corresponds to a rate of about 30 events per day," the laboratory said in a message on its Telegram channel.

According to scientists, on Sunday, November 8, 28 more outbreaks were recorded per day — in addition to 29 outbreaks on Saturday. All events are produced by the same area of 4566, which today entered the center of the visible disk, that is, to "direct fire" at Earth.

The laboratory noted that if mass outbreaks continue, this will prove to be a beneficial factor. According to scientists, Class M outbreaks have been occurring for the second day, so today the first event of the highest class X is possible.

Scientists at the IKI RAS recorded 29 solar flares on Saturday, November 7, which repeated the record of the 21st century. According to the IKI RAS, all the flares occurred in one group of spots numbered 4566, located in the center of the solar disk. Earlier, in May 2022, 29 outbreaks produced two active centers, and in December 2024, five groups at once.
