Subject: The biggest solar X-ray flare ever is classified as an X28
It has just been announced that the massive solar X-ray flare which
occurred on 4 November was, at best estimate, an X28. There is still a
small chance this will be revised by a small amount, but it is now
official: We have a new number 1 X-ray flare for the record books, the
most powerful in recorded observational history.
