An X1.0 flare is what this one is. The X class denotes the strongest flame, and the number offers additional details regarding its power.
The nation’s effort to study space weather is led by NASA. With a fleet of spacecraft that monitor everything from the Sun’s activity to the solar atmosphere to the particles and magnetic field in space around Earth, NASA continuously monitors the Sun and our solar system.
