Abstract: Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are among the most energetic phenomena in the solar system, often impacting space weather and terrestrial technology systems. In this study we utilize SunPy, an open-source Python library for solar physics, to analyze solar active regions and their correlation with flare and CME events held on 4th January 2025. By processing observational data from space-based solar observatories, we extract key features such as magnetic field structures, flare intensities, and CME kinematics. Our result confirm that the observed solar flare is an X1.8 flare, which is classified as an X-class flare, the strongest type of solar flare. Our methodology employs SunPy's data retrieval and visualization tools to efficiently process multi-wavelength observations and track active region evolution and its role in triggering large-scale eruptions. We present a case study focusing on solar active region evolution and its role in triggering large-scalar eruptions. The analysis includes time-series data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO - NASA), Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO – NASA & ESA) and GOES, highlighting the significance of SunPy in handling diverse datasets. Our findings provide insights into the precursors of solar eruptions and enhance predictive capabilities for space weather forecasting.
