This event occurred on the side of the Sun that is not visible from Earth, but its consequences may reach our planet. According to scientists' observations, a giant cloud of plasma was ejected from behind the southeastern edge of the Sun at a speed of at least 1,500 kilometers per second. It is noteworthy that the researchers have not yet found sunspots capable of producing such a powerful explosion. This led them to suggest that there may be a new superactive region behind the visible edge of the Sun, MIR24 reports.

Despite the fact that the flare occurred on the far side of the Sun, its consequences may affect Earth. Such solar phenomena are capable of causing geomagnetic storms that can affect satellite communications and power grids, as well as creating impressive auroras. Scientists continue to closely monitor the development of the situation, as the appearance of a new superactive region on the Sun may have significant consequences for space weather forecasting and further research in the field of solar physics.

Further observations and analysis will be essential to understanding the full scale and potential consequences of this exceptional solar event.
