太阳耀斑

At 01: 03 Beijing Time on the 15th, the Sun erupted with a powerful X2. 8-class solar flare.

A solar flare is a sudden, bright burst of energy on the surface of the Sun. It happens when twisted magnetic fields on the Sun release a lot of energy all at once.

This explosion of light and heat can be seen from Earth, even from far away.

Solar flares can send waves of energy toward Earth.

Sometimes, they can cause colorful northern lights in the sky, but they can also affect satellites and radio signals.

Scientists study solar flares to understand the Sun better and keep us safe. They remind us just how powerful and amazing our Sun really is!
