The newly emerged sunspot has seen a number of flares erupting on the surface of the Sun. At the time of both eruptions, the sunspot was facing Earth and a coronal mass ejection (CME) could have accompanied at least one of these solar flares.
Solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field when they hit the planet, causing issues with power and GPS. But if a major solar storm hit Earth, the consequences could be catastrophic.
An astrophotographer has snapped an incredible image of a 60,000-mile-high wall of hot plasma falling down on the surface of the Sun.
A stunning image showing exquisite details of the Sun's surface has been released by the National Science Foundation (NSF), which is taken by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawaii. The image shows the Sun's chromosphere, which is the layer of its atmosphere just above its surface. NSF said that the first images of the chromosphere were taken with the world's most powerful solar telescope, which is located on land of spiritual and cultural significance to the Native Hawaiian people, on June 3, 2022.
