2. They release ten million times more energy than a volcano. A volcanic eruption pales in comparison to a solar flare. In a matter of minutes a solar flare, thought to be caused by magnetic fields, can eject billions of tons of charged particles. 3. During peak times there are over 20 solar flares a day. When the Sun is at solar maximum, the ...
Jul 18, 2020 · A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Material is heated to many millions of degrees in just minutes and radiation is emitted across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to X-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end.
Jun 16, 2024 · Plus there is dispute about what is the largest solar flare ever recorded since 1976? Is it the 2003/11/04 flare (X45), the 1991/06/01 flare (X17+), or the 1989/08/16 flare (X28.5+)? Image of 1989/08/14 (5629 (β-γ-δ) is the big region at the southwestern limb/bottom right, 5643 (β-γ-δ) is the big region at the northeastern limb/top left ...
2. Want to discuss a solar flare? Do not make a new topic! Post in the existing topic for that sunspot region or make a new topic if the sunspot region in question does not have a topic yet! 3. Solar flares and sunspot regions on the east limb, and unnumbered regions are discussed in this topic. 4. Returning active region?
Feb 16, 2024 · The number is a measure of the flare's peak X-ray flux in the 1 to 8 angstrom energy range, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²) as you mention. For example, an M8.0 solar flare is stronger than an M7.0 flare but weaker than an M9.0 flare within the M-class category.
Sep 4, 2024 · SpaceWeatherLive - International Board. Space Weather. Solar activity. There were high solar activity on late December 2023 to early January 2024, late February 2024, late March 2024, mid-May 2024, late July to early August 2024, and now we are seeing a rise in sunspot complexity again with recent ARs 13806, 13807 and 13813 growing a gamma ...
Jun 1, 2024 · Going on swl's ' Top 50 solar flares ' page and checking on sc24, I can see at least 50 X flares, the 50th largest one being X1.42. So it is definitely not 49. To my mind, it is impossible that the next largest one in an 11 year period (the 51st largest one) was smaller than X. There must have been at least a few flares between X1 and X1.42.
Dec 11, 2020 · NOAA swpc geomagnetic storm maximum Kp index predicted value of the Dec 10, 2020 CME shockwave arrival of the Dec 7, 2020 earth-facing C7.4 solar flare overestimated the actual value substantially. Arrival time was predicted accurately, but the intensity was not. Predicted maximum was G3=Kp7 (SEVERE). Actual maximum was Kp4 (ACTIVE).
Apr 2, 2024 · Hi folks, I'm part of NASA's first Solar Flare Sounding Rocket Campaign. We'll be launching 2 rockets (HI-C Flare and FOXSI 4) from Poker Flat Alaska sometime in the next few weeks. Our launch window is Apr 5-18, and the plan is to sit on the launch pad waiting for a solar flare to start. Once we...
Jun 15, 2024 · If the largest solar flare per solar cycle is affected by the size of the solar cycle, then because of the size of SC19, the 23 February 1956 flare is the largest solar flare ever recorded, at X100, if the flare occurred on the centre of the disk. Edited June 16 by faster328
