A plasma eruption occurred on the Sun

Giant plasma ejection on the Sun covered a third of the visible disk of the star

A powerful complex explosion occurred on the surface of our star, covering an area with a diameter of about 500 thousand kilometers in the western hemisphere of the Sun. This information was provided by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The scale of the phenomenon is impressive — a third of the entire visible solar disk was affected.

The epicenter of the colossal ejection was active region 4168, located at a significant angular distance from the direction to Earth. However, specialists note a concerning fact: some secondary centers of solar activity that participated in this event are dangerously close to the Sun-Earth line.

According to available scientific data, part of the solar matter and magnetic fields is already moving toward our planet.
