Details of two sunspots that NASA warns could release M-class solar flares towards Earth

Solar activity has been consistently bombarding Earth in recent months. In July, it was discovered that 2023 had already surpassed a 21-year record for the highest number of sunspots, exceeding scientists’ initial predictions. The increasing number of sunspots directly correlates with the intensity of the solar peak, indicating a higher likelihood of solar storms. These storms are triggered by the release of coronal mass ejections (CME) particles during solar eruptions, also known as solar flares, which originate from the unstable magnetic fields within sunspots. In a noteworthy development, the NASA…

NASA Warns of Possible M-Class Solar Flares from Sunspot

Solar flares, similar to asteroids, pose a danger to Earth. Powerful solar flares can lead to power and radio disruptions lasting for hours or even days, trigger auroras, expose airplane passengers to radiation, and potentially impact elections. Technological devices are particularly vulnerable during these flares. This is because when cosmic rays hit our planet, they release various particles such as energetic neutrons, muons, pions, and alpha particles. While these particles do not harm humans directly, they can penetrate integrated circuits and cause damage, often altering stored data. As the solar…
