The sun can encounter explosions from time to time. These explosions emit strong radiation to the environment. According to a statement by the US National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), there were two consecutive explosions on the Sun’s surface in the past few days. NASA shared a short section of the explosion moment.
Scientists said that the explosions will increase even more!
Recently, the US National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) announced that there were two powerful explosions on the Sun. With the effect of these explosions, which were quite violent, some radio waves on Earth were also adversely affected.
NASA shared a section of these explosions on its Twitter account. The shared moment belongs to an explosion that took place on August 7. These explosions also took their place in the “X” category, which is the most severe category in the solar flares class. Its power turned out to be X1.5 power.
Experts have issued warnings that radioactive particles thrown into space due to the explosion that occurred on August 7 have reached the Earth. When these particles reach the Earth, a solar storm takes place.
The previous explosion took place on 5 August. The explosion that occurred on August 5 was stronger than the other. NASA added this explosion to the category as X1.6. Keith Strong, a solar physicist, added that the resulting explosion caused radio blackouts in the Pacific Ocean. He also stated that frequencies below 5 Mhz are also affected.
Scientists say that these explosions on the Sun will increase even more in a few years. It is stated that the reason for this is that the Sun is currently in a moving phase. The sun completes a calm and stormy cycle every eleven years. Then it starts a new one.
