NASA has been in warning mode out of concern for planet earth. 2022, according to NASA scientists, seems to be the year when the Sun is expected to release Solar Flares of horrific proportions. In the near future, these Solar Flares of horrifying proportions will be nearing their peak in the regular 11-year cycle. This 11-year cycle is known as the Solar Maximum.
The warnings sounded by NASA are dire to say the very least.
Solar Flare Indicators – What are scientists at NASA looking at?
The presence of a very large sunspot on the surface of the Sun has been very very quiet, in an almost disconcerting way. This is the first indication that a Solar Flare might be building on its way
Sunsport AR 3089
This potentially dangerous Sunspot has been categorised as Sunspot AR 3089. So far, it has proved to be a very mellow Sunspot, indicating the danger level might exist but at lower levels. However, NASA scientists insist that this does not indicate that the danger of the sunspot converting into a full-blown Major Solar Flare does not exist.
Rather, according to Dr. Tony Phillips, the SunSpot has potentially developed into a delta-class magnetic field that holds the energy for X-Class solar flares.
Strongest Class of Flare
The delta-Class magnetic field is the Strongest Class of Flare. However, there is a fair amount of variation present within the X-Class. This allows for the production of the energy equivalent of – A billion Hydrogen Bombs!
What is protecting Earth from this Solar Flare Sunspot?
We are protected from harm from this Solar Flare Sunspot all thanks to Earth’s magnetosphere.!
Future trends and impact on Planet Earth
Over the next few days, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Centre predicts the Odds of an X Flare over 3 days @ 5 percent probability. The Solar Flare SunSpot is predicted to hit Planet Earth sometime in the future if not now.
