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...

Terrifying solar flare sparks BLACKOUTS in US, Canada; NASA satellite spots blast

[ad_1] Earlier, it was reported that solar winds were expected to hit the Earth today, June 21, but so far, it has not reached our planet. However, a bigger threat struck the Earth in the late hours last night when a powerful solar flare explosion occurred on the Sun. The X-class solar flare eruption took place on a new sunspot named AR3341, and the impact of the flare was so strong that it sparked shortwave radio blackouts over the North American continent, including major parts of the USA and Canada. Further, a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud was also seen escaping, which has the researchers worried.According to a report by SpaceWeather.com, “New sunspot AR3341 erupted on June 20th, producing an X1.1-class solar flare. Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere. ...

Solar flare strikes Earth, causes BLACKOUT in Australia and New Zealand

[ad_1] A major solar flare activity was recorded in the early hours today, January 6. The X-class flare caused a shortwave radio blackout affecting most of the South Pacific including Australia and New Zealand. It was reported earlier that multiple unstable regions have emerged on the Sun, resulting in chaotic solar activity. This is now impacting Earth. On Wednesday, the Earth suffered a minor solar storm strike, which shockingly, managed to push a satellite away from its orbit. It was also reported that there were chances of a solar flare eruption today, January 6. The fears have now come true in the worst of forms as the strongest X-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun directly facing the Earth. The flare has resulted in a shortwave radio blackout which has affected most of t...
