A major explosion on the Sun was recorded on January 8. This was reported by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of IKI and ISZF.
The images obtained from coronagraphs show how matter scatters in different directions, forming a large-scale eruption. However, the source of this event is on the far side of the Sun, which is currently completely hidden from Earth.
We can only guess what happened there. Two weeks ago, when the currently invisible side of the Sun was turned towards Earth, there was nothing particularly remarkable observed on it - a couple of active regions of medium size.
Based on the direction of the eruption, experts suggest that the flare occurred in the group of sunspots 4321, located below the equator in the right part of the visible disk.
Scientists will be able to observe the site of the explosion in about a week. Then the active region will begin to emerge from behind the eastern edge of the Sun and will again be in the field of view of terrestrial and near-Earth observation systems.
Earlierwww1.ru reported that magnetic storms mayhit Earth on January 9.
