JAKARTA The sun emitted a strong flare on Wednesday, June 18. According to the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) monitoring, this flare appeared in the morning at around 4.49 WIB.

NASA says that this strong flare beam is recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The telescope continues to observe the Sun periodically and immediately takes pictures when detecting bursts.

This flare or flare is classified as a flare X1.2. That is, the explosion of energy that releases electromagnetic radio and high-energy particles is indeed very strong and can cause a lot of interference.

The latest flare categories are five, including A, B, C, M, and X. A is the weakest flare and has no impact on Earth, while B is slightly stronger, but also has no impact on Earth.

Flare category C can have an impact on Earth, but the effect is still very mild. Class M needs to be observed because its energy bursts can cause a number of glitches, such as radio communications that do not run until radiation.

However, category M still has a mild impact. The category X is the most observable. The reason is, this sound power can provide extreme interference, both for technology in space and its astronauts.

"Suars and solar eruptions can affect radio communications, power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts," NASA said, quoted on Wednesday, June 18.

NASA did not state whether the flare detected this time managed to provide extreme interference. However, the space agency stated that it would be observing its flares continuously with their latest technology.
