NASA missed dangerous solar flares! But India's Chandrayaan 2 finds it

Even as ISRO is preparing for the launch of Chandrayaan 3, its predecessor Chandrayaan 2 is delivering extremely valuable inputs, which can even save the Earth from some dangerous events. This time, it detected dangerous solar flares being shot out from the Sun that even the otherwise super-efficient NASA failed to spot. Recently, Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter detected solar protons via its large area Soft X-Ray Spectrometer. The solar protons are responsible for increased radiation exposure to humans in space. ISRO has revealed that the instrument on January 18 recorded CME (Coronal Mass Ejections), which are the massive solar particle eruptions due to intense flares from the sun. CME fire an abundance of plasma, gases, and magnetic fields out into space, often from the Sunspots which are lumps in the Sun's magnetic field.

These CME travel at amazing speeds of even 1000 kilometers per second and these can reach Earth in around two to three days, providing very little warning to astronomers and scientists to prepare and warn everyone about it. Fortunately, not all solar flares travel as fast and generally take over a day or two to reach Earth. These solar flares often have the ability to cause ionisation in the atmosphere of the Earth, which is responsible for the mesmerizing auroras. However, when some really powerful solar flares hit the Earth's atmosphere, they have the power to knock out satellites, Internet, electricity and even mobile phone connectivity. Considering that everything on Earth is now dependent on electricity and Internet, it will disable medical and other systems causing massive destruction in terms of human lives and infrastructure. A really strong solar flare is expected by some researchers to hit Earth over
