NASA shares images of Sun emitting strong solar flare, check out

[ad_1] NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has captured incredible images of the Sun emitting a strong solar flare.On June 20, the Sun released powerful solar flare, reaching its peak at 1:09 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). https://twitter.com/NASASun/status/1671228956228321296 Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact high-frequency (HF) radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts.The solar flare observed on June 20 is classified as an X1.0 flare, with "X" representing the most powerful category. The number provides additional information regarding the flare's strength within its class.As per Fox Weather News, the most powerful flare in history made much more of an impact. In the fal...

Dangerous M-class Solar Flare set to hit Earth today, NOAA satellite data shows

[ad_1] In recent months, there has been a notable increase in solar activity as the Sun approaches the peak of its solar cycle. Referred to as Solar Cycle 25, the Solar Maximum is expected to occur around the middle of 2024. That's why every month has witnessed a higher count of sunspots and a greater occurrence of geomagnetic storms and solar flare eruptions. One geomagnetic storm hit Earth yesterday and lit up both ends of our planet -- north and south. Co-rotating Interaction Regions (CIR) occur when swift solar winds originating from different directions collide with the Earth, exerting pressure on its magnetic field and leading to its expansion and formation of fractures.Now, new sunspots are expected to spark solar flares. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...
