Solar Flare produces stunning lightening effect and power failures on Earth

in #science7 years ago

After producing six solar flares, the sun has now created a strongest and largest solar flare. The sun has never produced such a powerful solar flare in its current cycle. Now, after the hurricanes in the Atlantic, this solar flare has captured lots of public attention which has created a sense of tension among them.

The last solar flare produced by the sun was so powerful that people in some parts of the UK had seen lighting effects in the sky. It is expected that the solar flare will have the energy level of billion hydrogen bombs. This is happening after 12 years. Since 1996, around eight powerful solar flares have been recorded, but this one was something new.

A team of researchers have captured some highly detailed images of solar flares produced by the sun on Wednesday. As per the record, the solar flares lasted around 48 hours. Due to this, some amazing lighting effects were seen in northern latitudes, northern England and Scotland.

The solar flares also caused changes in magnetic fields. As per the scientists, when solar flares occurred, the sun was in its period of Solar Minimum. Usually based on in its magnetic material movement, the period of the sun is divided into two parts, i.e., Solar Maximum and Solar MinimumIMG-20170911-WA0000.jpg
