In the sun today, October 25, at about 1:41 MSK occurred powerful X-class flare 3.1. On Earth, its effects may become noticeable after a couple of days. Scientists predict a magnetic storm on October 27.
“During the outbreak of the class X3 is not registered with the release of protons to the same coronal mass ejection, too, was not as powerful as it could be. We now specify any parameters, perform calculations consequences Can this lead to a serious outbreak of a magnetic storm on Earth “- said the representative of the Institute of Applied Geophysics.
Previous powerful flash on our star class X1 happened on October 19, but did not lead to any change in the magnetic field RIA Novosti
Solar flares depending on power are divided into five classes: A, B, C, M and X. The minimum class A 0.0 corresponds to the radiation power of the Earth’s orbit in NW 10 per square meter. In the transition to the next letter in the power increases 10 times.
