Luckily its solar flares are not too powerful avoiding damage to spacecraft.
a new sunspot and it is a mighty one. It was reportedly spotted by one of NASA’s observatory tools.
“A new sunspot is rotating over the Sun's southeastern limb, and it is a big one. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is seeing at least two dark cores significantly wider than Earth,” noted spaceweather.com.The outlet noted that for the time being the sunspot’s solar flares were not dangerous, a danger sometimes associated with sunspots.“So far the sunspot's magnetic field appears to be cleanly separated into + and - polarities--no mixing.
Solar flares are caused when areas of the Sun develop strong magnetic fields that temporarily halt the process of convection on the Sun. As such, they send out intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun that can mess with spacecraft that provide communication and navigational services. These craft canThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classifies solar flares into five categories that convey the amount of radiation released.
Each class is further divided into the logarithmic scale of 1 through 9, except X class, which continues further. X class flares are mostly rare and the instrumentation developed so far can only accurately measure solar flares up to the intensity of X16., AR3153 is reported thus far to have only produced eight C class flares and two B class flares. Furthermore, the forecast is for a 60 percent chance for C flares, a 15 percent chance for M flares, and only a 5 percent chance for X flares.
