More can be expected in the days to come.
. This is one of the most powerful flares seen since October last year and might be a sign of what is coming next., flares occur when energy stored in magnetic fields on the solar surface is suddenly released.Sometimes, areas on the Sun develop intense magnetic fields where the convection process stops, dropping the temperatures and making them appear darker. These are sunspots and serve as an indicator of activity on the solar surface.
The 1.2 in the classification denotes that the flare was a low intensity among the X-class flares. So far, sunspot AR3182 has been facing away from the Earth and blasting off flares on the far side of the Sun. However, with the sunspot now facing the Earth, the wrath of the sunspot is aimed directly at us., which is the expulsion of plasma alongside magnetic radiation from the Sun's corona. Earlier, CMEs were thought to follow solar flares.
However, stronger geomagnetic storms can cause communications to blackout, as they did recently, but for extended periods while also damaging electrical equipment, which can lead to power outages. The Earth has faced powerful geomagnetic storms earlier, with the most severe one recorded in 1859. However, back then, humanity was not as dependent on technology for communication, navigation, and energy supply as we are today. An incident on a similar scale could have devastating results for the modern economy, and scientists are therefore keen to be able to predict the occurrence of such an incident accurately.
With the Sun approaching the peak of its solar cycle in the next few years, more X-class solar flares are expected, and so are powerful CMEs.
