Am I alone in finding e-mails like this almost completely undecipherable?
I'm afraid,
reading them when I do first thing in the morning, unless they are
explained rather better than a "flare being an X 28" I just skip over these
mails and delete them.
Please would sometime explain the following report to me in simple English:
"Friday, November 07, 2003
Jonathan Marks has passed on this announcement from the European Space
Agency:
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.
