solar flare

The day is a nice sound impressive yesterday 1:41 ET solar access to the greatest period of two years and our own Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) took a bunch of great snap. View the Sun spit a medium and a small flashlight radiation storm, culminating in a dazzling crown of mass ejection, or CME (the awesome barrage a shot below) issued by a complex of sunspots.

This is a surprising picture of the Sun's own CGI may pass before the summer disaster film. You know, just before the backyard star has reached the void in the fingers of fire and swallows us. But do not worry, we will only strike a blow to the eye, "says NASA. NASA, a huge cloud of relatively cool particles" mushroom ", then fell back to an area roughly equal to half the surface area of the sun.

Fortunately, the CME, moving with a speed of about 870 miles per second to more than 3.1 million miles per hour is not led directly to us, but it's close enough to the aurora high latitudes, which causes less disruption of the satellites . NASA says it must be created in the early evening on June 8 (Tonight, around 6:00) and June 9 (For the record, now has about 93 million miles from the sun). The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), then the statement, noting it was a solar flare, radiation appeared not seen since 2006.
