In the last few days, the Sun has again shown great activity, as an X 1.8 class coronal ejection (CME) was detected by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite of NASA and the European Space Agency, which also recorded how the sun exploded. the comet hit nearby.
Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS survived a recent encounter with the Sun, so it will soon be visible from Earth, just after sunset on October 11. But the comet he was struck by a very powerful solar flarewhich, however, did not cause any particular damage to the celestial body, but an amazing video was also made of it thanks to the SOHO satellite.
The sun is becoming more active, as it approaches the peak of its 11-year cycle, so more and more coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are occurring, as the aurora borealis appears even in our country. The current solar flare can also cause such a phenomenon, it is worth looking at the KP index forecasts to catch the beautiful scene.
