Dangerous solar storm moving towards Earth, Nasa gave this warning

The American space agency NASA has told that a big solar storm is moving towards the Earth. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured a very powerful glow coming out of the Sun on Tuesday. NASA has told that according to the local time, the solar flare was at its peak at around 9:55 am. It is classified as an X class flare, which means it can be effective. The image shared by NASA tells about the ultraviolet (UV) lights coming out very fast from the Sun.

Solar flares are events when there are powerful explosions of radiation from the Sun. These eruptions can last from a few minutes to hours. Harmful radiation emanating from it can reach the Earth’s atmosphere. Although it does not affect humans physically, it can affect radio communication, electric power grid, navigation signals. This can pose a danger to spacecraft and astronauts.

NASA The Solar Dynamics Observatory has been observing the Sun since 2010. Because of this, scientists are closely understanding our nearest star.

Solar storms emanating from the Sun are classified according to their intensity. This allows scientists to determine how severe a solar storm is. The weakest solar storms come in the A-class, B-class and C-class. M-class storms are the most powerful and are most likely to hit our Earth.

X-class solar flares cause explosions on the Sun. When their target is towards the Earth, due to this the danger to satellites and astronauts increases. These explosions can also affect power stations and radio signals. The solar flare that has just been spotted is an X1.5 flare. That is, it is an X category solar flare. Because of this, shortwave radio blackouts have been warned in the Atlantic Ocean region. There is a possibility that it will soon hit our earth in the form of a solar storm.
