C-class solar flare danger today! NASA reveals key details about the Sun

[ad_1] To study the Sun, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory or SOHO was launched in 1995 by NASA in collaboration with the ESA, and it began operations in May 1996. It was initially launched as a 2-year mission but has now completed 25 years of service. According to NASA, SOHO aims to study the Sun “inside out”, meaning it has been conducting analyses from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar winds. It captures images of the sun's corona, measures the velocity and magnetic fields of the sun's surface, and observes the faint corona around the Sun.Using this advanced tech, NASA, with the help of its Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), has reported that Earth could be in the firing line of solar flares soon. Know all about it. Dangerous sunspotAccording to a report by spacewea...

Solar flare today! Sun spews out terrifying C-class solar flare; Planet in peril?

[ad_1] Recently, a minor shortwave radio blackout over the Indian Ocean area due to a newly formed sunspot which exploded, spitting out an M3-class solar flare on April 6. The affected countries included India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and even China, Japan, and South Korea. The Sun has gradually become violent due to its Solar Cycle 29 which is expected to hit its peak in July 2025. Therefore, Earth is in for a rough ride until then. Recently, the Sun spewed out C-class solar flare which could make its way towards Earth soon.According to a report by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as many as 19 C-class flares were produced by the Sun yesterday, April 9. The strongest of them was a C-9.1 solar flare, just shy of an M-class solar flare which was hurled out. ...

Dangerous C1-class solar flare likely to hit Earth

[ad_1] Solar activity has been ramping up over the last few months as we move ahead towards the peak of solar cycle 25, which is expected to be around July 2025. This is the main reason why the Sun has become so violent and Earth is in the firing line of various solar phenomena for the next few years. And yes, it can be dangerous. Although the past couple of days have been quieter than usual in terms of solar activity, a solar flare was still spewed out by the Sun recently.According to a report by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), as many as 4 sunspots have been recently observed on the solar surface. Although solar activity is expected to be at a low, there is still a chance of a C1-class solar flare to be hurled out by the Sun in the coming days. The rep...
