NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured on Thursday an X9-class solar flare, the strongest of this solar cycle, in two ultraviolet wavelengths

According to NASA, these solar flares are intense releases of energy from the Sun which can impact "radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts."

Thursday 3 flare is known as an X9-class flare. NASA explained that X-class flares are the most intense and that the number indicates their intensity. On February 22, NASA captured an X6.3 flare.
