Even more Xflares last 24 hours...
And while the entire world was having Auroras last night, I did not see any, except for a little skyglow.

It has calmed down a little, but the Sun is still showing impressive explosions.

Although not aimed at Earth directly, 3 more Xflares in the last 24h, from which one was X8,7, highest so far for this solarcycle.

Pfff... Even more Xflares, and more expected in the coming week!
For comparison: At the height of the previous solarcycle(24) the Sun produced 3-4 Xflares in the busiest months. 2014 had a record 15 Xflares over the entire year, about 1 per month, while this year we had that many in the last 2 weeks. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_24]

Ofcourse the numbers on Wiki aren't exactly accurate.
Found a better source to compare number of Xflares per year: [https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/solar-activity/solar-cycle.html]
According to the graph that shows amount of solarflares per year from 1997-2024:
2001 had 34 Xflares for the entire year 2014 had 25 Xflares for the entire year 2024 had 24 Xflares in the first 5 months
