Description
A strong solar flare of X6.3 class occurred on February 22, 2024. X-rays from the solar flare are reflected by the moon, MAXI captured the fluorescent X-rays. MAXI detected emission lines of three elements, Si, Ca, and Fe. Those were consistent with the main elements of the moon surface. We considered a model of the reflected X-rays by the moon and compared the intensities of the calculated and the observed emission lines.
