| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Three powerful class M flares were recorded by scientists on the Sun 16. This was reported on July 16 by the heliogeophysical service of the Institute of Applied Geophysics named after Academician E. K. Fedorov. The first flash of class M 1.1 in the X-ray range was recorded at 11:26 Moscow time, it lasted 14 minutes and caused disturbances in short-wave radio communications on Earth. The second outbreak of class M1.8 and lasting 15 minutes was recorded at 18:08 Moscow time. The third class M 4.0 flare was registered by astronomers at 20:46 Moscow time, it lasted 28 minutes. Solar flares are divided into classes A, B, C, M and X, depending on the power of the X-rays. The minimum class A0.0 corresponds to a radiation power in Earth orbit of 10 nW per square meter. Each next letter means that the power is increased tenfold. Solar flares are usually accompanied by plasma ejections, which can provoke magnetic storms on Earth. Earlier , IA Regnum reported that two strong solar flares occurred on June 19. Both outbreaks were accompanied by disruption of HF radio communications. In April of this year, a powerful magnetic storm covered the planet. According to the Laboratory of Solar X-Ray Astronomy of the Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the storm began on April 23 and gradually its level reached its maximum level, causing disruption of short-wave communications and many hours of navigation and voltage failures in industrial networks. |
