See the huge flares of fire in the Sun

The video was filmed using NASA's Solar Dynamics Orbiter (SDO) spacecraft, which is now 11 years oldExactly

Therefore, scientists have very detailed close-up footage of solar flares that occurred from October 25 to 28.The flares have led to a major X1-class solar storm that canto enhance the Northern Lights on Earth.

One of the outbreaks was accompanied by a radiation stormand a powerful coronal mass ejection, which ejected charged solar particles at a speed of more than 4 million km / h. These particles should reach Earth in a few days.

Auroras on Earth occur when charged particles from the Sun interactEarth's magnetic field directs these particles to the polar regions, which is why they are commonly seen in the planet's high northern latitudes.

But additional particles from a solar storm canenhance the auroras and make them visible in areas where it was previously impossible to observe them - in New York, Idaho, Illinois, Oregon, Maryland and Nevada, NASA notes.

On board the SDO there is equipment that can take pictures of the Sun from 12 different angles. The device transmits images every 12 seconds, which is about 3 TB of data per day.
