In early May, the Sun emitted strong flares accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Their main source was the solar region AR3664. Karol Wójcicki, a popularizer of astronomy and the author of the blog “With your head in the stars”, announced that the AR3664 region is increasingly visible from Earth, and on Monday it emitted an X2.9 class flare.

“AR3664 is back! And it hits X2.9 right away! Now it’s still sideways, harmless. But next week? I can’t wait!” – wrote Karol Wójcicki. On Sunday, the astronomy popularizer encouraged people to follow the Sun’s activity for the next 2-3 weeks. “There are interesting times ahead of us!” – .
Solar region AR3664 will face Earth on Thursday, June 6. The moon will then be close to the new moon, which will make it easier to observe the aurora borealis in Poland – provided that solar activity favors this phenomenon.

The popularizer of astronomy and author of the blog “With your head in the stars” said that “the world has seen something like this for several dozen years.” “The dark sky allowed the naked eye to see all the colors of the aurora, which at times was so bright that you could stubbornly look for your own shadow on the ground,” he added.
