Sun. it is the star that supports our life, but from it come not only what is necessary for us to exist, but also some problems that most of the time cannot be anticipated. More precisely, researchers have been trying for years, and years, for days to find a method by which they can find out in advance when the solar explosions that affect the Earth will take place, and a recent discovery could lead us to the end of what we are looking for for years, and years, for days in the universe.
Sun. it would be possible for researchers to predict solar explosions up to 24 hours before they happen, something that seemed impossible a long time ago. Behind a possible method to detect solar explosions lies a long research, but also observation of the way in which they take place in the corona that the sun has, the magnetic fields in it also being involved in what regards the occurrence of the phenomenon.
The Sun: IMPORTANT Announcement Regarding a very Great DANGER
Sun. could have detected these solar explosions in advance thanks to an effect called magnetic reconnection, that is when two magnetic regions with lines of different orientation meet. In this process, the meeting between the two magnetic fields can generate an explosion of kinetic energy and heat, and this throws a lot of radiation towards the Earth, which in turn affects telecommunications, electricity poles, and more.
"Scientists have long suspected that an effect known as magnetic reconnection underlies solar flares. This effect occurs when two magnetic regions with differently oriented field lines. When this happens, their magnetic field lines can break and reconnect with each other, explosively converting magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy. Scientists have developed a model to predict when large solar flares might occur based on routine magnetic observations of the sun. The model can also identify where these flares might happen and how much energy they might release."
Sun. explosions could be detected in advance by monitoring the way in which the energy gathers from the star towards its corona, and the researchers could see in advance when the danger is going to appear. The sun could have calculated including the place in the corona where the explosions would take place, but also how much energy would be released in the solar system, which will allow the preparation of certain areas on Earth for the effects of these explosions.
Sun. it still has many secrets that researchers are struggling to unravel, NASA sending a ship that approaches at the smallest distances so far, and shows us the star in a way we have never seen before.
