The NASA Observatory has detected a powerful solar quake. See what it looks like

NASA's Spaceborne Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has detected seismic activity on the Sun. About

opening the Spaceweather portal.com, sunquakes researcher and professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology Alexander Kosovichev reported. According to the scientist, seismic activity accompanied an X1.5 class solar flare on May 10, 2022.

Sunquakes are episodes of seismicactivities on the Sun, similar to earthquakes, but much more powerful. Solar tremors were first discovered in 1996. They accompany some, but not all solar flares. As a rule, the energy of sunquakes is 40 thousand times greater than the famous earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. 

As during earthquakes, seismic shock waves penetrate the bowels of the Sun, but with an incomprehensible difference. The waves accelerate to 400,000 km/h as they pass through the sun, and then suddenly disappear.

Scientists note that we are at the beginning of the 25thcycle of solar activity. The eleven-year cycle began in December 2019. We are currently in a fast-paced part of the cycle. This means that more solar earthquakes can be expected in the near future.
