28 March 2025: X1.1 Flare

 

This unexpected X-class flare has generated a lot of excitement! Although it came in at only X1.1, the fact that it's been quiet (so far) this year compared with the extreme Solar activity of 2024 made this quite a big thing.

Namarie! 💖

PS. Prayers for all affected by the Sagaing earthquake 🙏
