An X1.8 solar flare was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on October 24 from sunspot AR3873, he wrote. Space.com website To record the explosion.
Scientists classify solar flares based on their X-ray luminosity in the wavelength range from one to eight angstroms, of which there are three categories:
- Class X explosions are the largest, so large that they can cause planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.
- Class M eruptions are moderate in size and can cause short radio outages that can affect the Earth's polar regions. Explosions in this category may sometimes be followed by smaller radiation storms.
- Category C explosions are the smallest, and have few noticeable consequences on Earth, explains A Spaceweather.com.
The Magyar Namzet website previously reported that scientists have measured unusually strong solar activity compared to the sun’s cycle, which is increasing as the end of the cycle approaches, i.e. the second half of 2025. Currently, the sun is in the middle of its eleven-year cycle, and is steadily approaching its zenith. , but
The power of geomagnetic storms is truly amazing.
According to scientists, the number of sunspots causing powerful solar flares has reached a record high, although not all sunspot-related solar flares pose a serious concern.
