For the first time in seven years, two X-degree peaks were recorded on the Sun in less than 12 hours. This has been reported RIA News at the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
According to scientists, the maximum of the first epidemic was recorded at 02:17 Moscow time at night. The second occurred between nine and ten in the morning and continues to develop.
But according to preliminary calculations, the ejected plasma clouds will pass near the Earth, but quite closely.
The head of the laboratory, Professor Sergei Bogachev, noted that two consecutive explosions of higher power were last recorded on the Sun in September 2017. Such events occur very rarely, since each such outbreak depletes solar energy reserves and it takes quite a while to restore it.
Before that, an international group of space researchers led by experts from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in the US discovered Traces of one of the most powerful black hole explosions in the history of the known universe.
Earlier astronomers discovered The brightest quasar in the universe, shining with the power of 500 trillion suns.
