Xalapa, ver.- The Solar Dynamics Observatory of NASA, whose purpose is to look at the activity of the sun constantly, captured these images of a
important
solar flare.
Around 6:11 Eastern time American union, he stood a bright flash of solar mass and was caught at the right time
In the picture Each image shows a different wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights a different temperature of material in the sun. By comparing different images, scientists can better understand the motion of matter and solar power during an outbreak.
From left to right, the wavelengths are visible light, 171 angstroms, 304 angstroms, 193 angstroms and 131 angstroms. Each wavelength has been colored.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare can not pass through Earth’s atmosphere or physically affect humans, but when the blast is strong enough, may disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS signals travel and communications .
This outbreak is classified as an X2.7 class flare.
The Class X denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense a X1, X3 is three times more intense, and so on.
