The consequences of the new outbreak could have a more serious impact on Earth.
Scientist Sergei Bogachev spoke about the continuing high solar activity.
In a conversation with RIA Novosti , the expert reported that the Sun has been recording high-level X flares for the second day in a row.
This time, its strength was estimated at X1.8. Before that, there was an outbreak that was assigned the level of X3.3.
However, it is noted that a weaker surge could cause a significant magnetic storm on Earth.
The consequences of the second flare, astronomers suggest, will be more serious.
More precise information will appear in some time. For example, when scientists analyze data from space coronagraphs.
In addition, astronomers assume that new outbursts will occur in the near future. Thus, a powerful explosion may occur on Monday or Tuesday (October 28-29).
