How we always learned in elementary school: The sun warms the Earth and other planets. It is a giant star and contains a huge amount of energy in it. It is impossible to get close to the Sun because it burns anything that can come close. But many people have no idea about solar flares and their effects. One of these dangerous explosions was recorded recently. Solar flare and its details are in our news…
There was an explosion 2 years ago, but it was noticed today!
When you think of the dangers as well as the benefits of the sun, the threat of global climate change probably comes to mind first. But the Sun is an active star and not only pumps a steady stream of heat and radiation, it sometimes emits massive eruptions that can have serious effects on Earth. Scientists recently reported such a solar event, which can be detected not only on Earth, but also on the Moon and Mars.
The solar event, called a coronal mass ejection, occurred on October 28, 2021. A significant amount of plasma exploded from the sun’s surface and spread far enough to reach both Earth and Mars as it passed through the Solar system. The event, which took place 150 million miles away, was imaged by various spacecraft, including NASA and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) SOHO solar mission.
If this solar flare had occurred very close to Earth, it would likely sound annihilation signals for our blue planet. Because the radiation and high energy emitted by the Sun does not allow life for the living things around it. But thanks to both the distance and the Earth’s magnetic field, we are protected from this radiation. If you are an astronaut working in space, a great radiation hazard awaits you right now.
Understanding how this radiation affects the human body is very important because space agencies plan crewed missions that travel far beyond low Earth orbit, such as the Moon or Mars. Radiation can also affect satellites and have adverse effects on communication in a phenomenon called space weather.
