The strongest 2025 The exacerbation of the sun erupted, causing a radio eclipse across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. New research shows that burst particles can reach more than 108 million degrees Fahrenheit (60 million degrees Celsius) – six times hotter than previously thought – emphasizing the need for updated models to better predict space air. | Credit: NOAA weather forecasting center goes to 19 satellites.
According to new studies, our fiery flames are even more extreme than scientists, blowing up the particles up to six times hotter temperature than the previous ones.
Solar missiles are colossal explosions in the sun atmosphere that displaces powerful radiation explosions. These events are known for satellite disorder, radio signal chewing and potentially in space space.
Now a team led by Alexander Russell from St. Andrews University in Scotland, reports that the sun’s atmospheric particles, preheated, can reach a stunning 60 million degrees Celsius (Fahrenheit 108 million).
“It seems like a universal law,” Russell’s report said. He added that the impact had already been noticed in the area of the Earth, in the solar wind and by imitating, but until now, “no one had connected work to the sun in these areas.”
Since the 1970s, astronomers have been perplexed by the strange feature of the sunlight. When divided into colors, using powerful telescopes, the “spectral lines” of different elements look much wider or blurred than the theory.
For decades, scientists have directed it to turbulence, which is known to occur in the plasma of the sun. Like chaotic boiling water bubbling, fast, random plasma plasma movements of charged particles can theoretically switch light in different directions as they move. However, the evidence has never been fully matched, according to the new study. Occasionally, the expansion occurred before turbulence was formed, and in most cases the forms of the lines were too symmetrical to match turbulent flows, the paper states.
In the new study, Russell and his team offer a simpler explanation: the particles affected by the missiles are simply much hotter than previously thought.
By using magnetic re -connection experiments and modeling, the researchers found that, while electrons could range from 10 to 15 million degrees C (from 18 to 27 million degrees C), ions may rise over 60 million degrees (108 million degrees F). Because electronos and ions (which are atoms or molecules with electric charge) to share heat, this temperature gap lasts long enough to form rocket behavior, according to the study.
At such extreme temperatures, ions capture so quickly that their movement naturally makes spectral lines looks wider, ”says Russell’s report.

Rada is not just an academic exercise; They also influence the forecasting air in space. If scientists have not sufficiently evaluated the energy stored in John’s exacerbation, you may need to review cosmic weather forecasts. Improved models could provide satellite operator, airlines and space agencies for more accurate information and additional time to prepare for dangerous solar events, scientists say.
The study also requires the next generation of sun models that distinguish ions and electrons separately, instead of taking one equal temperature. This “multifaceted temperature” method is already prevalent in another plasma environment such as the Earth’s magnetic field, but it has rarely been adapted to the sun, according to the study.
This study is described in the Astrophysical Journal Letters earlier this month.
