New York: The US space agency NASA has shared beautiful photos of solar flares emanating from the surface of the sun on social media. NASA captured the moment Sunday when the Sun fired a powerful burst of energy into space. Giving information, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said that on October 2, a strong solar flare emanated from the Sun. NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory managed to take a picture of this event.
NASA wrote in its post, ‘Many incidents have been happening continuously in space. Solar Dynamics Observatory has captured solar flares.
What are solar flares?
Solar flares are radiations of magnetic energy emanating from the surface of the Sun. These volcanoes and solar eruptions have the potential to affect radio communications, electrical power grids, and GPS. It can also pose a risk to spacecraft and astronauts. Solar flares are bright areas visible on the surface of the Sun. It can be visible for a few minutes to hours.
The space agency said the solar flare captured on October 2 has been classified as an “X1 flare”. NASA reported that the X-class represents the most intense flares, while the number, which reaches a maximum of nine, gives more information about the flare. In April also, NASA succeeded in capturing the image of the solar flare through its Solar Dynamics Observatory. Solar flares do not have a negative effect on humans. They only affect the technology by releasing the magnetics.
