Three X-Flares

SpaceWeather

Solar siesta ended on 29 December with an X1.1, followed by a double X-flare the next day (X1.1 & X1.5).


The double X-flares are the ones shown in the gif above, and this is what SpaceWeather says:

This morning's X1.5-class eruption (0414 UTC) was so strong it triggered a secondary blast in sunspot 3932 more than 200,000 km away.

All three X-flares occurred within a 24-hour period:

X1.1 on 29th @07:08:00 UTC
X1.5 on 30th @04:01:00 UTC
X1.1 on 30th @04:29:00 UTC.

Namarie! 💟
