A stunning NASA image shows an enormous solar flare emerging from a new region on the surface of the sun

NASA has observed a large solar flare erupting from the side of the Sun, which may be caused by a highly active region of the Sun spinning in that direction. In a video posted on its website, the agency provides an overview of the most recent eruption.

A picture of the planet has been captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory on, July 31. As a result of the explosion, hot debris was also observed ejecting from the site of the explosion. A solar flare is an explosion of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun that travels at the speed of light.

Scientists have recorded many such flares in recent weeks and warned of their potential impact on Earth. After entering the ionosphere, solar flares emit ultraviolet radiation and X-rays that affect radio communications on the Earth.

The ionosphere is the portion of our planet's atmosphere that contains electrically-charged particles, and radio waves use these particles to travel throughout the globe. It is possible that solar flares may affect this communication.

However, according to a report, the latest flare was classified as C9.3, which is a relatively weak classification. According to spaceweather.com, however, the strength may have been underestimated due to the partial blocking of the Sun's edge.

Though Earth is not in the direct path of the latest solar flare, the explosion is significant because it may herald the outbreak of an active region over the northeastern limb of the sun later this week. Several weeks of relative quiet could come to an end with the appearance of a new sunspot group, according to the outlet.

The strength of a solar flare is classified by one of the four letters - B, C, M, and X - with a subdivision ranging from 1 to 9. It is generally true that flares that are M-class or higher do not have significant effects on Earth.

An eruption of solar flares occurs when magnetic field lines on the surface of the Sun are so strong that the sunspots cannot escape into space, so the sunspots become cooler and darker.

When these powerful magnetic field lines abruptly change, solar flares and other eruptions of solar material are triggered. It is therefore possible to view sunspots as potential zones of solar activity.
