“The Sun emitted a significant solar flare on March 30, 2022, peaking at 1:35 p.m. EST. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which constantly monitors the Sun, captured a glimpse of the event,” NASA said in a statement. Wednesday.
Solar flares and solar flares can affect radio communications, electricity grids, Earth navigation signals and also pose a threat to spacecraft and astronauts on the International Space Station. However, they can not pass through the Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an image of the event, which was classified as an X-Class flare. pic.twitter.com/LTaO68tnPz – NASA Sun & Space (@NASASun) March 30, 2022 NASA’s SDO has been monitoring the Sun since 2010 and has made a significant contribution to understanding the nearest star from the scientific community. It hosts three scientific experiments: Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), EUV Variability Experiment (EVE), Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI).

The SDO captured another solar flare that erupted from the Sun on March 31, 2022. However, this flare is classified as an M-Class flare. Class M flares are one tenth the size of the most intense flares, class X flares.
According to NASA, this mid-level solar flare peaked at 2:35 p.m. EST.
