According to space weather monitoring data of the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG), it was learned that the second highest daily X-class explosion was recorded on the Sun on May 14. This was reported by TASS.
The statement states that at 15:55 Moscow time, an X1.2 flare lasting 25 minutes was recorded in the X-ray range in the sunspot group number 3664 (S17W89).
In just two weeks, 15 X-class flares and numerous M-class flares occurred.
It was previously known that more than half of Russians (63%) participated in the survey. I felt bad It is during the strongest magnetic storm of the last 20 years that covered the Earth last week.
Before that, senior researcher at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS Sergey Yazev previously aforementionedThe most intense solar flares in two decades turned out to be the cause of magnetic background disturbances. He explained that at least four clouds of hot plasma were flying towards Earth. According to the astronomer, the plasma clouds move at different speeds and catch up with each other, so a continuous magnetic storm triggered by these emissions was observed on Earth on May 12 and 13.
Previous scientists listed Possible consequences of magnetic storms.
