A new active region has emerged on the Sun, rapidly growing in size. This zone is considered especially dangerous as it crossed the central solar meridian on the night of August 30. Scientists warn that over the next 48 hours, this region could pose the greatest threat to Earth during its entire existence.
This region has been categorized as Beta-Gamma-Delta, the highest level of complexity among solar spots. No particle eruptions have occurred yet, but this region is heating the Sun's corona, increasing thermal radiation. Experts from IKI RAN suggest that this could be a sign of energy accumulation, which often precedes major solar flares.
Recently, one of the largest solar flares since June 20 occurred. It was classified as the fourth level of power out of five possible levels. Scientists report that solar activity has sharply intensified, with several large active centers emerging on the visible side of the Sun.
It was also previously reported that a proton stream pierced Earth's atmosphere as a result of a powerful M1.1 solar flare lasting for 16 minutes. The consequence of this flare was the penetration of low-energy protons into near-Earth space, but their concentration does not exceed natural background levels, according to experts.

School students from Turkmenistan have been recognized among the winners of the UNESCO regional competition titled “The Art of Equal Opportunities: Sport and Artificial Intelligence.” The award-winning participants — Gozel Tachgulyyeva, Jennet Nurmuhammedova, and Arzuw Orazova — represented Specialized School No. 24 for Gifted Youth in Mary, a member of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network in Turkmenistan.
The competition, designed for young people across Central Asia, was organized by the UNESCO Regional Office in Almaty in partnership with the National Federation of UNESCO Clubs of Kazakhstan, the British Embassy in Astana, and the Association of UNESCO Clubs of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Participants submitted creative works in two categories: “Women and Artificial Intelligence” and “Women in the World of Sport.” Following evaluation, 25 outstanding works by artists under the age of 18 from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan were selected.
The Turkmenistan team’s mentor, teacher Jeren Badyyeva, received a special certificate in recognition of her pedagogical guidance and contribution to the preparation of the students.
The final exhibition showcasing the top 25 entries was held in Almaty from December 3 to 8, featuring selected works from young participants, including those from Turkmenistan. All winners were awarded certificates and commemorative gifts.
