A series of 'tsunamis' broke out on the sun

Japanese and American artificial satellites capture the phenomenon of a series of 'tsunamis' spreading on the surface of the Sun at tremendous speeds.

According to scientists, this "tsunami" phenomenon occurs when the sun releases a certain amount of auroral material (CME) with a great amount of active energy. In other words, they are charged particles flowing out of the solar atmosphere, carrying ultra-hot plasma currents.

Scientists used the two Japanese Hinode artificial satellites and the US Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to observe the phenomenon. The Hinode satellite has begun studying the sun since 2006 and SDO flies around Earth's orbit in 2010. Both satellites can receive ultraviolet light.

Based on the ultraviolet analysis that the two satellites received from the wave, the scientists measured the movement speed of tsunamis on the solar layer up to 400 km / s, the crude temperature of It is up to 1 million degrees.

This phenomenon happens randomly and rarely, difficult to predict before the time. The sun is at a positive stage in the 11-year cycle. Scientists predict that the sun will peak in the cycle in 2013.

Tsunami waves on the sun affect telecommunications signals on the earth.
