The peak activity time of the flare was recorded at 15:15 Moscow time. This powerful explosion caused a noticeable plasma ejection directed towards our planet.
It was also noted that the flare damaged a medium-sized prominence, which will add to the mass of the ejected gas.
According to researchers, this phenomenon is related to rare frontal impacts, and it is expected that the central part of the plasma structure will reach Earth. It is worth reminding that a similar impact was recorded this year: from January 19 to 21, the planet experienced a storm close to G5 level, accompanied by the strongest radiation storm of the 21st century,” the scientists added.
