A solar emission from active zone 3576, following a previous X3.3 flare, marks a rare occurrence of repeated high-powered eruptions within a solar cycle.

A powerful solar flare of the highest magnitude class X occurred on the Sun on Friday at 12:52 pm GMT.

The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Science reported the event on its website.

“The event is classified as X2.6, which means it is the fourth strongest event in the last five years, according to the catalogs…The likelihood of the outbreak impacting Earth is currently assessed as extremely low,” the lab’s statement read.

The jailed blogger lost consciousness after going for a walk, and resuscitation efforts failed, authorities have said

Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny has died in jail in central Russia after falling ill during a walk, local authorities have said, adding that an investigation into the exact cause of his death was ongoing.

In a statement on Friday, the Federal Penal Service in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region said that Navalny, 47, who was serving his sentence in a correctional facility on several charges, including embezzlement, “felt ill” after a walk, losing consciousness almost immediately.

Officials said that medics and an ambulance were called without delay. “All the necessary resuscitation measures were carried out, but they did not yield positive results. Paramedics confirmed the death of the convict,” the statement added.
