Did a chunk of the sun breaks off? here's what really happened:

The sun is the only star in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system, and its gravity holds the solar system together. Everything in our solar system revolves around it - the planets, asteroids, comets, and tiny bits of space debris. Since late march the sun has been unleashing the solar flares. Powerful enough to cause radio blackouts of earth.

  • A huge part of the sun broke off on the surface & created a tornado like swirl around its north pole.
  • The remarkable phenomenon was caught by NASA's famous scientist James web Telescopes.
  • The material breaking apart from the sun has described as solar prominence.
  • NASA defines it's as large, bright features extending outward from the sun's surface.
  • This has revolved for 8 hours.
  • Sometimes a prominence can break down & release solar flare, which impacts on radio & solar communications.
  • It also threatens astronauts & spacecraft with radiations.
  • There have been several such occurrence of prominence in past, but this has particularly stunned scientists also.
  • They are also researching the reason for its occurrence.
  • Scientists have confused by a new development on the sun's surface.
  • Solar storms occurs when sun emits energy in the form of solar flares & coronal mass ejections.
  • These phenomena send a stream of electrical charges & magnetic field towards the earth at a spread of about 3-million miles per hour.
Does it impact on our planet?

  • No, it doesn't occur directly because it is at the Northern side.
  • While solar prominence in itself will not have impact on earth. It indicates solar disturbance & activity on the star will continue.
  • Many incidents number of spots have occurred till now. But the current forecasts suggested that conditions are going to stay this for a while.
