Nice Solar Flares and Alert

The sun has been acting up and we captured some impressive solar flares. This activity spawned a space weather alert from NOAA:

Issue Time: 2021 Jan 30 0513 UTC

CONTINUED ALERT: Electron 2MeV Integral Flux exceeded 1000pfu
Begin Time: 2021 Jan 27 1220 UTC
Yesterday Maximum 2MeV Flux: 3848 pfu

The solar activity has been on the rise. These kind of events are not too impactful to Earth but can cause issues to satellites and spacecraft not protected buy our magnetic field. To put it to scale many Earths would fit in these flares.
