On the night of October 25, a powerful class X flash occurred on the Sun 3.1, which can lead to a magnetic storm on Earth, about this RIA “News” said a representative of the Institute of Applied Geophysics. By According to researchers, the outbreak on the Sun occurred at 01:41 by Moscow time. “It’s worth noting that during a class outbreak X3 no emission of proton flux recorded, also emission the coronal mass was also not as powerful as it could be. we Now we are specifying the parameters, we are calculating the consequences, can this outbreak will lead to a serious magnetic storm on Earth, “said he. Recall the previous powerful flash on the Sun of class X1 happened on October 19, but did not lead to a magnetic storm. Solar flashes are divided by x-ray power into five classes: A, B, C, M, and X. The minimum class is A0.0 corresponds to a radiation power in orbit of the Earth of 10 nanowatts per square meter. When moving to the next letter, power increases 10 times.
