Huge black streaks on the Sun interrupt radio communications

A huge black streak of heart-shaped flashes of fire lit the Sun, causing intermittent radio communication on Earth to be temporarily interrupted.

According to Space, the fire halo erupted at 0: 29 minutes on April 18 from an ultra-large black trail named the active area AR 2529 , sized enough to fit 5 Earths. The NASA Aerospace Agency's Solar Dynamics Observatory captures an interesting image of the fire halo when it happens.

The eruption caused a moderate-scale radio loss in some places, according to authorities from the Space Climate Forecast Center under the US National and Atmospheric Administration.

The fire erupted on April 18 at level M6.7 in the classification scale used by scientists. According to this classification system, level C fire is the weakest, M is medium strength and X is the most intense. The fire level X is 10 times stronger than the M level fire, while the M6 ​​eruption is 6 times more intense than M1.

Black streaks are dark areas on the surface of the Sun with slightly lower temperatures than the surrounding areas. Black streaks act as launchers for solar fire and diurnal eruptions (CME), firing at the space of super-large plasma clouds at speeds of millions of kilometers per hour.

"The AR 2529 black spot is changing its shape and size as it slowly passes through the Sun's surface for nearly two weeks. In most of the time, it is large enough to be visible from the ground without magnifying glass, " NASA representative said.
