While the X5.7 flare on May 11, 2024 is a very strong event, there have been a number of recorded solar flares that exceed this level. Here are some of the most powerful flares observed since the start of the space age:
1. The Carrington Event (1859): Estimated to be an X45 (±5) flare based on the recorded effects. This is the strongest known solar flare.
2. November 4, 2003: An X28+ flare, the strongest recorded by GOES satellites. The "+" indicates that the flare was so powerful it saturated the detectors, so the exact peak intensity is uncertain.
3. April 2, 2001: An X20 flare.
4. August 16, 1989: An X20 flare, part of a series of powerful flares from August 1989 that caused wide-ranging technological impacts.
5. October 28, 2003: An X17.2 flare, part of the famous "Halloween Storms" of 2003.
6. September 7, 2005: An X17 flare.
7. March 6, 1989: An X15 flare, also part of the influential March 1989 flare series.
8. July 11, 1978: An X15 flare.
9. October 19, 1989: An X13 flare.
10. December 5, 2006: An X9 flare.
These are just a few examples, and there have been several other flares in the X6 to X10 range recorded over the decades. However, events above X10 are relatively rare, typically occurring only a few times per solar cycle, if at all. Flares as strong as the Carrington Event are even rarer and have not been directly measured with modern instruments.
