Sunspot region 3663 celebrates the start of a new week with a massive X4.5 (R3-strong) solar flare. This is the third strongest solar flare of solar cycle 25 and the strongest solar flare produced by this sunspot region thus far. Sounds great right? When will I be able to see aurora I hear you ask...
