Solar Activity Increases
April 11, 2024 @ 19:40 UTC

Solar activity reached moderate levels on Thursday with an impulsive M5.4 solar flare peaking at 17:06 UTC (Apr 11). Although a rapid flare, you would think a flare above the M5.0 level would be easy to pinpoint, but it was not. There was some activity around the time of the X-Ray event centered off the southeast limb in the vicinity of old region 3615, and just afterwards, an apparent eruption was observed beyond the northeast limb. AR 3635 had also been producing C-Flares on Thursday as well. Whatever the source was, it is clear that elevated solar activity looks to be on the horizon.
