A report by the British “Daily Mail” website revealed that astronomers had noticed Sunspot Huge on the sun is moving towards the earth and is expected to increase in size during the next few days, so the area called AR2770It has a “basic dark core” the width of Mars, and a number of “small spots” the size of the crater scattered on its surface..
although AR2770 “Fatal” solar flares have not yet been produced. Experts are monitoring them in an effort to prepare for such an event that could disrupt electrical processes and facilities on our planet..
“This sunspot was an easy target for my solar telescope,” said amateur astronomer Martin Wise, who took the photo from Trenton, Florida, noting that he used an 8-inch binocular with safe solar filters to capture the image..
Sun spots–
they say that AR2770 Has fired a number of flares from the class B It is the lowest class of solar flares, which send slight ionization waves through the Earth’s atmosphere, according to space weather reports..
However, the slick is growing and becoming more active over the next few days, which may produce more intense solar flares.
According to NASA: “Solar flares are a sudden explosion of energy resulting from intertwining, crossing, or reorganizing magnetic field lines near sunspots..”
Predicting when the solar activity will increase may protect astronauts in orbit, as well as prevent technologies such as satellites from being destroyed..
In June, scientists from the University of Warwick unveiled a new sun clock that could better calculate the turning and stopping times of the sun.
Professor Sandra Chapman said: “Large events can happen at any time, but they are more likely to occur around the solar limit. By carefully arranging the observations, we found that in the 150 years of geomagnetic activity on Earth, only a small percentage occurs during these. Quiet conditions.
The ability to estimate future risks of a giant solar storm is vital for space and terrestrial technologies that are particularly sensitive to space weather, such as satellites, communication system, power distribution and aviation..
If you have a space-sensitive system, you need to know how likely a major event like this is to happen, and it’s helpful to know when we’re in a quiet period because it allows maintenance and other activities that make systems temporarily more fragile..
The team used sunspot observations over the past 200 years and mapped the sun’s activity over 18 solar cycles to a record 11-year cycle – the sun begins a new 11-year solar cycle..
