A Gigantic Solar Flare Skirts Earth —The Most Powerful of Solar Cycle 24
—
This still from a video taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the Aug. 8, 2011 solar flare as it appeared in the ultraviolet range of the light spectrum. The flare registered as an X6.9 class sun storm, the most powerful of the Solar Cycle 24. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the explosion’s extreme ultraviolet flash:
The greater mass of the explosion was, fortunately, not directed at Earth. Nevertheless, radiation from the flare created waves of ionization in Earth’s upper atmosphere, briefly disrupting communications at some VLF and HF radio frequencies. The CME will probably miss Earth. At this time, however, we cannot rule out a glancing blow from the flank of the cloud on August 11th or 12th.
“This flare had a GOES X-ray magnitude of X6.9, meaning it was more than 3 times larger than the previous largest flare of this solar cycle - the X2.2 that occurred on Feb 15, 2011,” scientists with NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, a space observatory that monitors the sun, wrote in an update.(via dailygalaxy) (video)
awesome !
