The powerful solar explosion which occurred on December 19 recorded its telescopes NASA and the pictures are beautiful!
The harmful radiation μιας τέτοιας έκρηξης δεν μπορεί να διαπεράσει την “ασπίδα” της γήινης ατμόσφαιρας, ώστε να βλάψει τους ανθρώπους στην επιφάνεια του πλανήτη, ούτε θέτει σε κίνδυνο τους αστροναύτες στο Διεθνή Διαστημικό Σταθμό.
But it can create problems for satellites, radio communication systems, the 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, although particularly strong, is far from the "brutal" X4.9, which had occurred in Helium this year in February.
