Geophysical report

Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

X2.0 solar flare from sunspot region 4001

It has been 53 long days but we have finaly seen another X-class solar flare coming from the Sun today. Sunspot region 3947 produced an X1.8 solar flare on 4th of January and since that day... silence... but today departing sunspot region 4001 produced an X2.0 solar flare.
