The Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences has reported the detection of significant plasma ejections from the Sun. These ejections have been observed since Thursday morning in the Sun`s northern hemisphere, which is noteworthy as previous similar phenomena were exclusively recorded in the southern hemisphere.
According to a statement on the Laboratory`s website, “Large plasma ejections have been observed in the Sun`s northern hemisphere near the central meridian since morning.”
It is currently unclear whether these ejections indicate an overall increase in solar activity, particularly given that recent processes were concentrated solely in the star`s southern region.
The Laboratory added, “The ejections are being detected along the Sun-Earth line, but their trajectory is provisionally estimated to be significantly above the plane of the planets. Therefore, no direct threat to Earth is currently identified.”
