The strong solar explosion that occurred on 19 December recorded its telescopes NASA and the pictures are beautiful!
The harmful radiation of such an explosion cannot penetrate the "shield" of the Earth's atmosphere to harm the people on the surface of the planet, nor does it endanger the astronauts on the International Space Station.
But it can create problems for the satellitesconditions, τα συστήματα ραδιοεπικοινωνιών, το system GPS, as well as terrestrial electricity networks.
In September, the NASA telescopes recorded a strong solar storm, the strongest for several years.
Solar flares are classified into three categories: C (the weakest), M (medium), and X (strong).
The current X1.6, albeit particularly strong, is far from the "brutal" X4.9 that happened in the Sun this February.
