IKI RAS
academic
The Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAN) operates the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, which monitors solar activity and issues public alerts on space weather events. The laboratory reports on solar flares, sunspot groups, coronal mass ejections, magnetic storms, and the destruction of comets near the Sun through Telegram channels and press releases. It has documented record-breaking levels of solar activity, including multiple X-class flares and intense geomagnetic disturbances.
