R3 (Strong) Solar Flare Occurred 28 March, 2025
A strong solar flare (R3) occurred and peaked at X1.1 near 11:20am EDT (1520 UTC) on 28 March, 2025. The flare occurred from the vicinity of newly rotated into view Region 4046 near the east limb (left side of the solar disk). The flare was associated with a blast of solar material from the area as seen in this GOES-16 image - so a likely non-Earth directed coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted as well.
