The sun ended the weekend with a noise when the sun’s spot erupted from our point of view with a strong solar strait on Sunday afternoon.
At 2:27 pm EST (1927 GMT) on Sunday (February 24), x2.0 Solar energy haven It reached its climax from Sunspot A 4001, which is located outside the northwestern end directly from Sun. As a result, a short -wave radio kidnapped occurred across parts of the Pacific Ocean of the high amount of UV rays (UV) that accompanied the glow. During this type of blackout, there is a complete or almost complete loss of high -frequency radio signals (HF) in sunlight areas.
X-Class Blaces are the most powerful solar glow, which is It was classified on a scale of 4 categories. With every increase in the scale on the scale, the glow force also rises ten times. Class Master Maine is the second most intense, followed by the C. Class, then B, which is located at the bottom. The number that follows the letter, in this event, distinguishes at 2.0, the force was not individual glow.

All radio blackouts are also classified on the National Oceanic and Attrads Administration (NOAA) Space weather forecast center (SWPC) GlycemWho describes how each level will affect the ground. This particular event as a “strong” R3 came, and it is in the middle of the scale under the events of “EXTREME” (R5) and “R4” (R4).

Scientists participated in Noa’s Swpc in them Prediction discussion On Monday morning (February 24), there are no concerns about the salaries of the Earth The coronary mass was expelled (CME) emerging from X2.0 lighting.
However, the spacecraft that watch the sun caught great views of the expulsion because they explode the plasma and the magnetic field in space.

When CME, plasma columns happen and The magnetic field for the sun They are expelled in space, and if they reach Earth, they can create magnetic storms. When these storms occur, the effects on our planet include effects on energy networks, as well as light display, known as AuroraIn the lower latitudes of the usual.
Although this event was not caused by CME to influence the Earth, SWC experts continue to monitor the sun for additional solar flabber flabia. Participate in Modern statement These opportunities remain “slight” for other events with a similar force that occurs in the middle of the week.
