Scientists have recorded the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle. The flare received a rating of X8.7, which is an order of magnitude higher than all previous flares of this cycle, whose power was X5. 8. According to the head of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sergei Bogachev, although the clouds of charged particles ejected as a result of the flare will not reach the Earth due to changes in the activity zone of the solar surface far from the Sun-Earth line, the inhabitants of the planet should still prepare for To some consequences, Bogachev notes that the probability of plasma hitting the Earth is very small, but strong radiation is expected to put a strain on the Earth’s atmosphere.
