Магнитные бури на подходе?: На Солнце произошла сильная вспышка класса M2.5 — первая в июле

The last time flares above class C were recorded was on June 20

On the morning of July 8, at 07:17 Moscow time, the Institute of Applied Geophysics registered a powerful solar flare of class M2.5. This is a flare of the penultimate power class.

The duration of the flare was 52 minutes. It occurred in the N19E88 region on the Sun.

The last flares of this level were recorded on June 20. Flares above class C (M, X) can be accompanied by emissions of solar plasma, which, upon reaching Earth, cause magnetic storms and can affect the operation of satellites and power grids.

Solar flares are powerful energy emissions that can affect communications, navigation, and energy systems on Earth. Tracking such events helps to prepare for possible equipment failures and reduce risks.
