  "textContent": "A strong solar flare measuring M7.5 erupted from Active Region 4409 at 01:17 UTC on April 4, 2026. The event started at 01:07 and ended at 01:23 UTC. No radio signatures indicating a coronal mass ejection (CME) were detected, despite the region’s position near the center of the solar disk, where any CME produced would likely be Earth-directed. Forecast conditions indicate solar activity will likely remain at moderate levels through April 6, with a slight chance of X-class flares, while geomagnetic conditions are expected to reach G1 - Minor to G2 - Moderate storm levels on April 4 under the combined influence of the April 1 CME and a negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream.\n\nSource",
