As many UMSF members have likely noticed the current Solar Cycle (25) is off with a bang! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle_2...progression.png. SOHO observations https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/spaceweather/ coupled with daily comments in Space Weather https://spaceweather.com/ provide an excellent way to follow this activity.

Large sunspot AR3590 currently facing earth has produced multiple X class solar flares over the last few days, including the strongest (X6.3) flare of solar cycle 25 (see link below). As per SpaceWeather today https://spaceweather.com/ this was not responsible for the 12-hour outage of AT&T's network on Thursday 2/22/2024. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/goes-x-ray-flux
