NASA today unveiled two videos that show the most recent solar flare that occurred on Saturday 22, and came to Earth in the form of radiation at noon yesterday.
The images were obtained by the "Solar Dynamic Observatory" (SDO, in its English acronym), a satellite launched in 2010 and observed the behavior of the sun and ultraviolet radiation and oscillations of the magnetic field, all to foresee the dreaded solar storms, which affect communications on Earth.
The last eruption is considered by NASA as the largest since 2003. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) U.S., meanwhile, described the storm as "strong" degree granting S3 (maximum S5).
A solar storm can affect the behavior of Earth satellites, complicating communication. However, no effect on people. The phenomenon can sometimes be visible in high latitudes of the planet.
Saturday's eruption lasted approximately one hour. The solar mass detached from the eruption moved to 2243 kilometers per second.
