However, NASA experts warn the worst has not yet come, and the Earth will also witness the more terrible rage of the sun when our central star reaches its peak in the active cycle. Its 11-year dynamic.

The flare appeared at the same time as a straight eruption of the corona (CME) towards Earth, and was identified as the "strongest flare from the beginning of the year" , according to NASA spokesman Karen Fox.

Research models in NASA's lab reconstructed the CME activity on April 11, according to which billions of tons of charged particles from the sun rushed to Earth at a rate of more than 965km / sec.

The sun's activity caused the radio systems on Earth to fall into a temporary network drop, in an R2-level event, on a scale from R1 to R5.
