Astronomers expect an increase in the number and power of solar flares in the next 24 hours

[Regnum] A significant increase in the number and power of solar flares is expected in the next 24 hours. This was reported on November 28 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"A sharp increase in flare activity is expected in the next 24 hours (possibly even in the next few hours) due to the emergence of several new large active centers on the Earth-facing side of the Sun," the scientists clarified.

The report states that solar X-ray fluxes have increased nearly fivefold over the past 24 hours. Furthermore, the frequency of small and medium-sized flares has increased, indicating a rapid increase in flare energy reserves.

"Swings in solar activity have been observed for about a month and a half now and are associated with a pronounced and not entirely understood asymmetry in the distribution of solar active centers," the laboratory explained.

According to scientists, almost all of these centers have been located on the same side of the Sun since early October. Because of this, the Sun's rotation around its axis, over the course of 27 days, the "empty" solar side turns toward Earth once every 14 days, during which time the Sun has almost no effect on Earth. After this, the active solar side turns toward our planet, and during this time, a sharp increase in the number and intensity of flares is observed.

Earlier, on November 17, scientists recorded signs of a new increase in solar flare activity. The laboratory emphasized that current processes are within normal limits for this period of the solar cycle, and no dangerous events are currently forecast.

2 Airbus orders immediate repairs on 6,000 jets worldwide during America's busiest holiday travel weekend

"Analysis of a recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls," Airbus said in a statement. "Airbus has consequently identified a significant number of A320 Family aircraft currently in-service which may be impacted."

3 That’s concerning, Skidmark.

4 Yes. Yes it is.

Airbus issues emergency warning for 6,000 passenger jets as US flight's 'uncontrolled drop' sparks fears of mass groundings

An investigation involving the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found intense solar radiation corrupted critical data in the flight control computers, causing the plane to momentarily lose accurate positioning information and plunge downwards.

5 Uncontrollable downward movements in a plane...is bad. Do not recommend.
