The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Strongest solar flare emitted by the Sun for years – Nasa footage” – below is their description.
A powerful solar flare erupted from the sun on Thursday which scientists say is the most significant solar flare occurrence since 2017.
The eruption originated from the far northwest section of the sun, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory using extreme ultraviolet light.
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) resulting from these solar flares have the potential to impact Earth, giving rise to geomagnetic storms that can disrupt power grids and other critical infrastructures.
Solar activity follows an 11-year cycle and according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) the current cycle known as Solar Cycle 25, began in 2019 and is expected to reach its peak between January and October 2024.
