NA SA: There has just been a solar explosion, and this could be just the beginning

These solar periods of activity can cause interference with radio equipment or even space satellites.

Many sun - black spots, meaning complex magnetic fields, were captured by Nassau. On May 29, a relatively small solar explosion came from these solar spots, sending damaging radiation to the atmosphere, writes Independent, translates Periscope.

These blasts are classified as M-class, representing the average in their solar power terms more powerful than C-classs, but not as powerful as the X-class explosion, which could cause radio blackouts.

In the last 48 hours, there have been additional solar explosions, but smaller ones.

Scientists need to know when these solar cycles occur in order to protect radio communication on our planet, as well as to provide astronauts and satellites that are outside the earth's atmosphere because of the electronic damage they may suffer. /Periscope
