It caused a massive flare up last week
The head of the Astronomical Society in Jeddah, Eng. Majed Abu Zahra, said: It was observed this morning, Sunday, February 20, 2022, the beginning of the sunspot that caused a massive glow last week, as it was spotted over the northeastern edge of the sun while it is active with flares.
He added: This sunspot is the same as the old spot AR2936, and the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an explosion with a magnitude of C5 during the early hours of Sunday, and it is likely to be stronger than it appeared, given that it was partially hidden behind the edge of the sun for us, even if it happened directly without Obstacles, the M-class explosion was probably the most powerful.
He continued, “This active region was on the Earth’s side of the sun in early February, which was responsible for the geomagnetic storm that brought down the SpaceX satellites on the fourth of February.”
A solar flare is an outburst on the Sun that occurs when energy stored in entangled magnetic fields (usually over sunspots) is suddenly released. The flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to X-rays and gamma rays.
He said: Solar flares are classified according to the brightness of the X-rays in the wavelength range from 1 to 8 angstroms. There are 3 classes: Class X large flares; These are large explosions that can lead to planetary radio outages and long-lasting radiation storms. There are medium-strength M-class flares; They can cause brief radio outages affecting Earth’s polar regions, and sometimes minor radiation storms follow a Class M flare. Compared to Class X and M flares, Class C flares are small with few noticeable results here on Earth.
Explain Each category of X-ray scintillation has nine subsections, for example C1 and C9, M1 and M9, and X1 and X9. It is a logarithmic scale, for example M1 is ten times more powerful than C1, while X1 is ten times more powerful than M1, and so on.
