[ad_1] Russian scientists have issued a warning that powerful solar flares observed on July 16, 2023, may cause disruptions to communications on Earth today. According to a report by news agency Reuters, the Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics in Moscow has highlighted the potential for X-class solar flares, including proton flares, which could interfere with short-wave communications.Solar flares occur when the magnetic field lines near sunspots, cooler regions on the Sun's surface, overlap and release a sudden burst of energy. Among these flares, X-class flares are the most potent. Flares are categorized based on their strength, with B, C, M, and X representing increasing levels of intensity. An X-class flare is approximately 10 times stronger than an M-class flare and 100 times s...

[ad_1] Multiple solar flares hit Earth between August 27 and August 29. Space weather experts rated the new solar flares as M8 class. The Sun has been erupting frequently in the recent weeks and blasting high energy storms towards us. Recently, not just one or two but three solar flares have hit the Earth unexpectedly and the strongest was registered as an M9 class that took place on August 29th at 7:07 a.m. EDT. According to Nasa, M-class flares are typically classified as "moderate," but can still lead to brief radio blackouts at the poles and minor radiation storms that might put astronauts in danger. The solar flares are classified into five categories, of which M is the fourth strongest and in each category, higher num...
