Yesterday's solar eruption fired with the strongest intensity this year, and is expected to hit Earth the day after tomorrow!
Because the accuracy was slightly off, it is not expected to cause serious damage to Earth!
A X2.7-class solar eruption was recorded on May 14 at 11:16 Moscow time.
This announcement was made by scientific organizations such as the Russian Space Research Institute.
The flash occurred at a position 70 degrees away from the Sun towards Earth, not directly aimed at our planet, and scientists believe that this release will not seriously harm our planet.
If their prediction comes true, the plasma will reach the blue planet on May 16.
According to experts from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory, since it is not directly aimed at Earth, the probability of a magnetic storm on May 15 is 17%. This is a relatively low indicator, indicating no severe geomagnetic disturbances.
The probability of small geomagnetic oscillations is estimated at 35%, and the possibility of maintaining a calm magnetosphere is 48%.
Therefore, the highest probability is that there will be no significant geomagnetic impact tomorrow.
The intensity of solar flare radiation is graded by NASA using levels A, B, C, M, and X, with each level differing by a factor of 10 in energy. Scientists often use additional coefficients to show differences within the same grade.
For example: The X2.2 solar flare that occurred in April 2022 was equivalent to the explosion of tens of billions of hydrogen bombs.
