According to reports, this intense explosion on the solar surface occurred in some parts of the USA and in some places during daylight hours. caused a radio blackout of approximately two hours. reported.
One of the Largest Solar Flare Events on Record
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s space weather forecasting center described this event as “extraordinary” And “one of the largest solar flare events ever recorded” he defined it as.
The center stated that the impact of the explosion on radio communication was felt between noon and 2 pm on Thursday, while scientists said, “located in the far northwestern region of the sunHe stated that they analyzed other effects of CME.
The center emphasizes that this explosion is the most powerful solar explosion recorded since September 10, 2017 and the strongest of the current solar cycle, affecting the Earth. Class X solar flaresHe noted that incidents are usually rated on a scale of 1 to 9, but Thursday’s incident was classified as an 8.
It is known that the most powerful solar flare in history was the event on November 4, 2003, known as X28.
