The third in a week flash on the Sun of maximum class X was recorded on Friday morning, September 8. The previous outbreak on the sun occurred the previous night, and the first outbreak was recorded the day before and became the most powerful one in the last 12 years.

It is still difficult to predict the consequences of such solar activity - so, the magnetic storm now occurring is ten times higher than the predicted values ??and reaches four points on a five-point scale.

According to experts, the storm is of a planetary nature, and its impact will be noticed in all countries of the world.

Experts recommend in the coming days to refrain from traveling on cars and air flights because of cataclysms on the Sun.. It is noted that during the period of such powerful solar activity, the number of accidents and mortality from accidents can increase several times.

As clarified by astrophysicists, the plasma cloud from the Sun came to the orbit of our planet around 02:00 Kiev time, about 12 hours before the expected time. This means that its speed exceeded the expected one and a half times, and the impact on the Earth is produced with more power than planned.

The direction of the magnetic field of the ejection, based on the ACE device operating at 1 million. kilometers from Earth and the first to encounter a sunstroke, is unfavorable for our planet - the field is directed oppositely to the earth and at the present time "burns" the Earth's field lines. As a result of this, according to scientists, a gap can form in which solar plasma rushes, filling the magnetosphere of our planet.

Involved in the magnetosphere, particles can cause polar auroras not only in the polar caps, but throughout the planet, including sometimes even before the equator. In Canada, which is now on the night side of the Earth, there are strong aurorae at high and medium latitudes.

In addition, scientists believe that the Earth is waiting for the largest magnetic storm since at least 2010. According to the latest data, the strongest magnetic storm has already hit Earth. This is written by the newspaper "Today".
