An explosion on the sun can affect technological devices
The successive explosions were identified as X1.7 and X1.1. The first explosion peaked at 9:40 pm and the second at 11:27.
On August 5, 2024, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare, the bright light on the right. The image shows a subset of true ultraviolet light, colored aquamarine, which illuminates the very hot material in the explosion.
The other image shows a subset of true ultraviolet light that is golden in color, highlighting the very hot material in the explosion.
Solar flares are intense radiation caused by the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. These are the strongest solar phenomena and last from minutes to hours. Eruptions are usually classified according to their intensity, from class A (weakest) to class X (strongest), with each class having a finer scale from 1 to 9.
There are also some things that affect our world in these explosions. When solar flares erupt, they emit energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma rays. Although these energy blasts mostly go into space, they can have a major impact on the upper atmosphere when they reach Earth. In fact, it can cause interruptions in GPS signals and radio communications, and even cause power outages by damaging satellites and transmission line facilities.
