The sun continues to emit a powerful flash
7 September 2017 in the Sun there were two flashes average . The first peaked at 6:15 am EST, the second, a large flash, peaked at 10:36 am EST . This is the fourth and fifth significant flare from the same active region of the Sun September 4.
The day before yesterday, September 6, two significant solar flares occurred on the Sun. Solar flares - powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from the flares cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the Ground, however - when they are intense enough - they can disturb the integrity of the atmospheric layer and to prevent the signals of GPS geopositioning and telecommunications.
The current solar cycle began in December 2008 and is now reduced in intensity and directed to a minimum. This is the phase when such eruptions on the sun are becoming increasingly rare, but history has shown that they can still be intense.
