The flare occurred on January 6 at sunspot AR3182. He hit the lens of the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
A NASA spacecraft has captured unique images of the most powerful class X solar flare. This caused a brief blackout on Earth. Space writes about it.
“Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can affect radio communications, electrical networks and navigational instruments on Earth, as well as cause the appearance of geomagnetic storms. As for solar flares that, as a result of this event, only a small amount of plasma escaped into space, but a powerful flow of energy, which reached the Earth in 8 minutes on January 6, led to a short-term loss of radio in the South Pacific Ocean,” the scientists said.
They predict that this sunspot could trigger another series of X-class flares in the near future. But it is not known if they will be accompanied by large plasma emissions, which may cause more damage to our planet.
Remember that a giant sunspot appeared on the star of our planet. Scientists say it could stage another plasma ejection that will crash into Earth in the coming days.
