NASA’s probe recorded an explosion on the Sun. The most interesting thing is that the images show that our star absorbs the released plasma
The Sun’s activity continues at full speed. On Monday (3), our star suffered an explosion and the Solar Dynamics probefrom the NASA, I followed everything closely. The images are incredible and the most interesting thing is that they show that the material failed to leave the Sun.
As the name suggests, the solar flares they are large releases of material onto the solar surface. They are classified according to intensity: the event in question was class M, that is, it was strong.
“Notice how the infalling plasma hits and flows through the magnetic field [do Sol] — physics in action!,” described solar physicist Ryan French. More data is needed for scientists to understand the intensity of the event.
However, French described it as a “great example of a failed eruption.” “The material attempted to leave the Sun, but ultimately failed to escape,” he added.
The splendid #SolarFlare on the sun today! Just look at how the infalling plasma affects and flows along the magnetic field: physics in action. #astronomy pic.twitter.com/1YAG9YHCSg

When solar explosions occur, the released particles travel through space and reach Earth, causing various effects, such as
in the polar regions. However, no material eruption occurred during this event that prevented the colorful light show.
“It appears that almost all of the plasma associated with the M4 explosion fell back towards the Sun and was absorbed, with only a small emission recorded in the images,” noted Sara Housseal, who works on space weather predictions.
Space weather is the term used to describe changes in the space environment between the Sun and Earth. It is therefore not surprising to say that our star is the main source of space weather: plasma eruptions, coronal mass ejections and other phenomena can cause different effects on our planet.

Scientists have been monitoring these phenomena closely—after all, the Sun is reaching the phase of maximum activity in its 11-year cycle. Therefore, we should see new eruptions and explosions soon.
