What happened when the sun exploded in 2022?

Apr 22, 2022

The sun unleashed a big solar outburst over the previous week causing radio outages and laying the groundwork for further solar radiation to come. The Holy solar storm crested late Saturday (16.04.2022) around 11:34 p.m and was followed moments later by a major solar explosion also known as a coronal hole.

The flash was classified as an X1.1-class sun storm which is one of the most powerful storms coming from the sun and lasted roughly 34 minutes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

According to the US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) the flare emanated from Areas gained so much popularity.

The agency noted that the advancements of the sunspots over the observable disk throughout the week, solar output is predicted to be intense. So, let's think about humans. Since this flash is classified in a class that is one of the most powerful eruptions coming from the sun, how will it be affected? Can solar flares harm people's health?

To dig deeper, Radio outages and ripples of incoming solar radiation are known effects of cosmic rays and space weather. These blast waves have resulted in significant and extensive telecommunications outages as well as substation failures. In some circumstances, absorption of this damaging irradiation from sunspots can lead to symptoms such as nausea and, in rare circumstances, liver failure. Skin cancer and skin burns are known to occur as a result of absorption to these solar rays. As a result, it is recommended that you take all necessary precautions whenever feasible. Anyone with skin sensitivity and acute illness should take extra precautions and avoid being subjected to the sunlight at midday.

You must have seen the excitement and urgency that celestial catastrophes cause for impoverished Mortals if you've seen any Science Fiction films. They make it appear that a solar eclipse will shortly reduce the Planet to embers. Even at their deadliest, the sun's eruptions are not theoretically able to damage Earth. That's all there is to it.

Interestingly, NASA refuses to acknowledge that these kinds of storms are any more dangerous than hurricanes. A bit of fresh air maybe, but that means they do acknowledge that they can be just as dangerous. Thus, immediate and serious precautions must be taken to preserve human's health.

So, let's look at what we can do if we're confronted with solar flares and their repercussions -As we humans like being paranoid-.With expertise and sufficient safeguards, one may defend oneself. Amidst a hurricane warning, a householder has the option of staying put... or sealing up the house, turning off the appliances, and getting out of harm's way. Similarly, just before CME hits the planet, NASA and NOAA scientists issue alerts to utility businesses, spaceship managers, and aircraft captains so that they can take appropriate safety measures.
