A powerful flare occurred on the Sun: scientists assessed its impact on Earth

POWERFUL SOLAR FLARE ILLUMINATES SPACE: ASTRONOMERS RECORD RARE PHENOMENON

Last night, astronomers witnessed an impressive cosmic spectacle — a powerful X1.9 class flare occurred on the Sun's surface, taking the honorable third place in intensity among solar events of 2025.

The culprit behind this cosmic fireworks was active region No. 4114, which has repeatedly demonstrated its explosive character throughout June. According to international classification, the flare received a high X1.9 rating, indicating a colossal release of energy.

Despite its impressive power and location near the Sun-Earth line, the event presented scientists with a real surprise. The ejected clouds of hot solar plasma rushed not toward our planet, but in the direction of the northern pole of the solar system, completely eliminating any impact on Earth.

"This presents a certain puzzle, but is probably related to some peculiarities in the configuration of the active center. Apparently, there are factors on the Sun that physically block the plasma from moving in a direct direction (toward Earth)," explain laboratory specialists.

Space coronagraphs confirmed that even with such significant flare energy, the plasma again deviated in the northern direction. Researchers admit that further analysis using mathematical models may reveal the movement of weak plasma components toward Earth, but their potential impact will be short-term and insignificant.

It is important to note that after the flare, no influx of heavy charged particles capable of disrupting spacecraft operations was registered, which further confirms the absence of threat to our planet.
