太阳目前正处于活动高峰期,太阳风暴频繁发生。北京时间2001年4月3日5时30分至5时40分左右,太阳爆发了X射线耀斑。巨大的质子流迅速到达地球,但由于我国大部分地区天还没亮,通信未受到很大影响。据分析,这是近25年来最大的一次太阳X射线暴,对太平洋地区的通信产生了严重干扰。 据科学家介绍,最近的太阳风暴发源于太阳表面的一个庞大的黑子,其表面积比地球表面积大1.3倍,有科学家称,这是近10年来发现的最大的太阳黑子。 专家预测,2001年8、9月之前还将有频繁的太阳风暴,估计到今年年底,这一周期的太阳活动才会逐渐转为平静。 在此摘引澳大利亚著名科普作家伦纳德·比克尔的一篇文章——太阳正在中年,以使大家了解太阳活动到底是怎么一回事。
The sun is currently at the peak of the activity, with frequent solar storms. Beijing time at 5:30 on April 3, 2001 to around 5:40, the sun burst X-ray flares. Huge proton flow reaches the Earth quickly, but the communication has not been greatly affected due to the fact that most parts of China are still dark. According to the analysis, this is the largest solar X-ray storm in nearly 25 years, causing serious disruption to communications in the Pacific. According to scientists, a recent solar storm originated in a huge sunspot on the surface of the sun with a surface area 1.3 times larger than the Earth’s surface area, which scientists claim is the largest sunspots found in nearly a decade. Experts predict that there will be frequent solar storms before August and September 2001, and it is estimated that the solar activity in this period will gradually turn to calm by the end of this year. In this article, an article by famous Australian popular science writer Leonard Bikel is introduced - the sun is in middle age so that everyone knows exactly what the solar activity is all about.
