Cuidado con el sol

No, no es por las quemaduras en la piel. Es que hay mucha actividad en nuestra estrella y lo que esta enviando para la tierra es mazacote. Una vez se empiezan a trastornar los enseres, ¿Qué podemos esperar de nuestro ánimo?

Por eso estoy pendiente siempre al informe del tiempo espacial: http://spaceweather.com/

ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Sunspot 960, which emerged over the sun’s eastern limb less than 24 hours ago, is big and crackling with solar flares. “This morning there was an M3-class flare and a nice magnetic loop coming out of the sunspot,” reports Cai-Uso Wohler of Bispingen, Germany, who took this dramatic sequence of images using his Coronado SolarMax60.

A similar flare on June 1st (1450 UT) caused a shortwave radio fadeout over Europe. In the Czech Republic, Mirek Najman captured the event in this plot of a fading 3.5 MHz radio beacon.

Sunspot 960 shows no sign of quieting. Astronomers with solar telescopes should keep an eye on the active region, while shortwave radio listeners should remain alert for flare-triggered fadeouts and other propagation effects. Stay tuned for updates!
