NASA, the US space agency, released on his YouTube account a major eruption on the surface of the Sun filmed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite.

An activity on the surface of the star and film material, which measure usually hundreds of thousands of kilometers, is recognized on satellite images Solar Dynamics Observatory. These eruptions of rare beauty of particular danger, as they give off radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays and other radio waves.

That’s not all, since a cloud of ionized particles capable of reaching the Earth in three days was detected there. Worse, these ions are able to disrupt communications, the GPS signal. Some electronic devices would be able to cause magnetic or damage to the electricity distribution networks thunderstorms. The radiation levels that follows increases abruptly in space. Which can make it unusable satellites or shuttles. Worse, it may even hurt the astronauts.
