Russian scientists have warned of powerful solar flare activity on Monday, following the observation of three solar flares on Sunday. The flares, including an X-class flare and proton flares, may interfere with short-wave communications and cause deterioration in radio conditions. Solar flares occur when magnetic fields around the sun reconnect, potentially damaging satellites and communications equipment.
Russian scientists have warned of powerful solar flare activity on Monday, which could interfere with short-wave communications. The Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics in Moscow stated that class X flares, including proton flares, were possible, potentially leading to deteriorating short-wave radio conditions. Solar flares occur when magnetic fields around the sun reconnect, and they can impact Earth's magnetic field, potentially damaging satellites and communication equipment. In 2022, a geomagnetic storm caused by a solar burst disrupted radio communication and affected SpaceX satellites.
