NASA telescope “saw” the biggest explosion in the Sun.

The biggest explosion made in Helium recorded its Solar Orbiter telescope NASA , as announced by the European Space Agency (ESA). In fact, it was very strong, while it was millions of kilometers long.

According to the APE-MPE, the explosion occurred on February 15 and did not aim at the Earth (otherwise it could cause problems), but “traveled” away from the planet, as it was caused on the side of the Sun that does not “look” at the Earth.

The image of the phenomenon became visible from the telescope instrument Solar Orbiter operating in the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other solar space missions, such as NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, monitored the event.

The Solar Orbiter, a collaboration between ESA and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will reach its orbit on March 26, at its closest point to the Sun, about 0.3 times the distance from Earth to the Sun.

According to ESA, “although the specific event did not send an explosion of deadly particles to Earth, it is a significant one reminder for unpredictable nature of the Sun. and the importance of understanding and monitoring his behavior. “
