The sun, the star that gives us light and heat, has recently once again demonstrated its incomparable charm. At 05:55 on January 1, 2024, Beijing time, a strong flare (x5Level 0), which brightens the morning sky.
A flare is a large-scale phenomenon on the surface of the sun, releasing a huge amount of energy. This Flare event is x8 from September 10, 2017The strongest eruption since a Category 2 flare triggered a strong radio signal absorption event that affected shortwave radio communications.
It is worth mentioning that this flare event occurred at the dawn of our country and had little impact on the ionosphere over our country. The National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center has closely followed up on this and issued forecast and early warning information in a timely manner.
Space weather has a profound impact on our lives and technology. Geomagnetic storms brought about by strong flares and coronal mass ejections may affect aviation, aerospace, navigation, communications and other fields. Therefore, the monitoring and early warning of solar activity is particularly important.
Over the next three days, solar activity levels are expected to remain at moderate to high levels, with the potential for another M-class or even X-class flare. The National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center will continue to pay attention to solar activity and release relevant early warning information in a timely manner.
The eruption of this flare not only reminds us of the impact of space weather on our lives, but also demonstrates the incomparable charm of the sun. Let's look forward to more about the wonderful phenomena of the sun and cherish the light and heat she gives us.
