The flare, which occurred on the far side of the Sun, led to a medium-strength magnetic storm on Earth, which covered the planet on March 15. The eruption was recorded on March 11 by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and the SOHO Observatory, Space reports.. com.

The latter also recorded an ejection of " It happened in the southeastern part of the Sun.

This " Rather, it is simply cooler and less luminous than the star behind it, but denser than the gas surrounding the Sun's atmosphere..

Scientists predicted that a coronal mass ejection could lead to a magnetic storm on March 15, which happened. It was also accompanied by strong auroras.

In addition, physicist Keith Strong said that the storm led to radio outages near the Earth's poles, and could also interfere with flights over these regions..

Although most of these storms do not have a significant impact on the Earth, especially strong solar storms can damage Earth technology.. One such storm, the Carrington Event of 1859, caused massive telegraph outages around the world and created auroras much farther from the poles than usual..

Recall that scientists also gave a forecast of magnetic storms for March.
