On 7 August (1825 UT ), the instability of the magnetic fields around the sunspot 1093 have produced a powerful solar flare of class-M1. Many Amateur astronomers have captured the active region in the middle of the flare, while the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory has recorded a video to the ultraviolet end of the entire event.
The eruption produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space, closer to joining the Sun-Earth direction. Meteorologists expect the cloud of particles only touch on the magnetic field of our planet between August 9 and August 10 - say they will not be a great event space weather (????).
In future eruptions can be done differently. The active region 1093 is in line with the rotating Earth. By the end of this week, we are the first line of fire if their magnetic fields diventaranno again unstable. We hope to tell ...
