The Sun on May 5, 2022--AR 3004 Continues Flaring!

 AR 3004 continues to grow and flare. It has produced 15 C-class flares and 3 M-class flares in the last 24 hours. Not surprisingly, today’s image shows this continued flaring. The spot continues to grow and is likely to also produce X-class flares (the most powerful solar flares) at some point.
