A black explosion occurred on the Sun, caused by the second explosion, tearing apart a cloud of neutral hydrogen in the star’s corona. This came on Wednesday, June 3, at the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Scientists note that in this case hydrogen is almost opaque to the radiation that shines through the hot atmosphere of the Sun – the corresponding photons are spent on ionizing hydrogen and are completely lost in this layer.
“As a result, a black blanket appears to have been cast over the Sun’s bright surface, which exists until the neutral hydrogen is completely ionized or leaves the solar disk. In this case, the latter occurred,” the report says.
The researchers added that next night, part of this cloud will go to Earth, partially penetrate the planet’s atmosphere, cool and settle in the rocks and oceans, and then plants will absorb it. cable– Laboratory channel.
On the night of June 2-3, a strong flare of magnitude M9.3 was recorded on the Sun. At the same time, according to scientists, just a day before, the situation on the star did not give any hints of such an explosion. They explained that the outbreak occurred almost at the center of the sun, as there is no other place for the plasma clouds to fly except toward the Earth.
