Sun news UPDATE for May 14, 2024: BAM! X8.8 flare from AR3664
UPDATE: An X8.8 flare just exploded from AR3664. This is the 17th largest solar flare and slightly bigger than the infamous Bastille Day Flare of July 14, 2000. The region is now largely behind the limb (edge), which means the flare was partly blocked by the sun and so much larger than what was observed. This sunspot region is again one for the record books. It just keeps on ticking.
