Date	Begin	Peak	Min	Class	Location	Region

	23:57	00:01	9	M1.1	N09E25	9511

All times UTC. Until June 2017 classes are NOAA's reports of the time (GOES-15 and earlier included a 0.7 scaling factor); later classes come from calibrated GOES-16/18 data, so the same flare reads about 1.4× larger. Do not compare the two periods directly.
