Sunspot unleashes M-Class Solar Flares; Big crack found in Earth’s magnetic field

[ad_1] The Sun has become quite violent due to its Solar Cycle 29. Therefore, Earth is in for a rough ride until then. Just days after volatile solar activity caused radio blackouts over North and South America due to an unstable Sunspot, NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has observed another new Sunspot which is hurling out dangerous M-Class Solar Flares, as reported by spaceweather.com.According to the report, a new Sunspot on the solar surface has been observed. The Sunspot, called AR3242 is hurling out dangerous M-Class Solar Flares. M-class flares are medium-sized flares, but they can cause brief radio blackouts. The new Sunspot was observed by David Leong in Singapore who pointed the telescope at the solar surface and saw an explosion. Leong told spaceweather.com, “AR3242 was...

[ad_1] NASA has informed that in just a week, as many as 17 coronal mass ejections (CME), 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots have been observed. Here is all you need to know. The Sun seems to be in a fiery and angry mood! According to the information provided by NASA, the week starting from August 15 to August 21 saw as many as 17 coronal mass ejections (CME) along with 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots explode on our Sun. The information was provided by the research organisation while giving a solar activity round up. Tweeting about the same, it said, "Time for the #SunDay solar activity round up! This past week 17 coronal mass ejections were observed, along with 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots. The GIF below shows a coronal mass...
