NASA Releases Video of M-Class Solar Flare that Erupted April 2

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a mid-level solar flare emitted by the Sun. The event occurred April 2, and the flare has been classified as M6.5 flare.

The mid-level solar flare, described as "graceful eruption," by scientists at NASA peaked at 10:05 a.m. EDT.

"The image shows the flare in a blend of two wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light: 131 Angstroms and 171 Angstroms, colorized in yellow and red, respectively," NASA said on its website.

NASA filmed the event using Solar Dynamics Observatory. These bursts are less powerful than the intense X-class flares. This year, there have been two major solar flares; one of them occurred March 13th and was classified as M9.3. Another flare that erupted on the 24th of February was labelled as X4.9. Earth was lucky to not be hit by the X class flare, according to Inquistr.com.

A recent X-class solar flare erupted at 1:48 p.m. EDT March 29

The recent solar flare shouldn't be a cause for concern. According to NASA, harmful radiation from sun can't pass through the atmosphere and so can't affect human health. However, when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel," the agency said.

According to experts, intense solar flares could become commonplace in the future and could disrupt the internet-cocoon that we live in.

The biggest solar storm ever recorded hit earth in 1859. During the so-called Carrington Event, people around planet earth witnessed auroras. The northern lights could be seen as close to the equator as Cuba and Honolulu, whereas the southern lights could be seen at Santiago, Chile, according to the National Geographic channel.
