American space agency NASA often shows us amazing pictures of the universe. Sometimes the pictures are so special that they astonish us. One such picture was captured by NASA’s camera a day ago, which is going quite viral. In this picture taken on March 28, 2024, intense solar flare is seen rising from the Sun. According to NASA, it was at its peak at 4:56 pm. And this picture is from that time.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has captured it. This observatory keeps a constant eye on the Sun. Its movements and changes occurring in it are closely studied. Solar flares are powerful explosions of energy. These flames are so terrible that they can even affect radio communications, electric power grids and navigation signals. They can even become a threat to spacecraft and astronauts.

According to NASA, these solar flares have been classified as X1.1 flare. The X-Class represents the most intense flames. The greater their number, the greater the power. NASA continuously observes the Sun and our space environment with a fleet of spacecraft that study everything from the Sun’s activity to the particles and magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere and space around Earth.
