“This have not happened before”. Consequences of a powerful solar flare Posting in CHAT: Russia 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.

A solar flare has once again provoked a magnetic storm that will hit us in the coming days. Posting in CHAT: Russia On May 8, two powerful solar flares were recorded, causing a significant emission of solar matter to Earth. This event was recorded by the IKI Solar Astronomy Laboratory and ISTP. Confirmation of what happened was obtained thanks to data from X-ray monitors of the Sun and observations using space coronagraphs. Experts believe that this emission is the most significant within the framework of the increase in solar activity observed in May. Two X-class flares that preceded the release were recorded in the morning of the same day: the first around 5 am and the second around 8 am. Both flashes reached about X1 power. Such mass ejections are considered one of the most powerful impacts the Sun has on Earth due to their enormous kinetic energy, which can significantly affect our planet's magnetic field, experts warn. It is expected that a magnetic storm could begin on Saturday, May 11, when ejected solar material reaches Earth.

A second powerful flare occurred on the Sun in two days – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia A powerful high class M solar flare occurred on the afternoon of March 10th. This is the second case in the last two days. This was reported by the press service of the Institute of Applied Geophysics. “On March 10 at 15:13 Moscow time, an M7.4 flare lasting 31 minutes was detected in the X-ray range in the group of sunspots 3599 (S13W38),” the institute reported. The influence of solar X-ray radiation is noted. radiation explosions in the ionosphere of planet Earth over the past 24 hours was at level R2 on a scale of five indicators, where R1 implies a weak impact, and R5 – maximum. Thus, the R2 value is classified as a moderate impact, TASS reports. At the end of February, in less than 12 hours, two powerful X-class flares occurred simultaneously on the Sun. This is the first time in the last seven years. This indicates powerful solar activity. “Evening Moscow” We discussed with a specialist how dangerous this phenomenon is for people and what consequences it can lead to. In turn, general practitioner, candidate of medical sciences Andrei Kondrakhin told “Evening Moscow” how such phenomena affect human health. Source link Source link
