Big storm broke out on the sun

Radio communication on Earth interrupted for a short time after a strong outbreak occurred on the solar layer of the sun.

Storm burst from the black spot AR 11598 - a strong active area of ​​the sun. The intensity of the storm reaches the maximum level at 3:05 am on October 22 at GMT, 10h22 on the same day in Hanoi. Solar Dynamics Observatory, an artificial satellite launched by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) to monitor the sun, has discovered a storm. The US Space Weather Forecast Center said that this is a level X1.8 storm - that is, the most powerful solar storm group.

After the storm broke out, charged particles from the sun rushed to Earth and paralyzed the radio signal for a short time, Space reported.

Black Point AR 11598 once created three powerful storms within two days since it became the target that humans could observe from the earth.

"That means strong storms will continue to come from that black spot. Because of the black point towards the earth in the coming days, the solar storms will increasingly head towards us , " Tony Philips , an astronomer from spaceweather.com, said.

Black stains are dark areas on the surface of the sun. They appear due to strong magnetic changes. The brightness of the black spot is only 1/4 of the brightness of the surrounding area. Strong solar storms often appear from dark spots and they release streams of charged particles into space.

The scientific world divided the solar storm into three levels C, M and X, where X is the strongest. Solar storms of level X can cause storms from the planet's upper layer. The interaction between charged particles from the sun and the earth's magnetic field can cripple radio waves. M-level solar storms can cause radio signal loss in the two polar regions of the earth for short periods of time. The impact of Class C solar storms is often very small and rarely detected.
