These explosions are extremely bright and release enormous amounts of energy. A &#8220;tsunami&#8221; of electrically charged particles starts from the point of the explosion and if it reaches the Earth it cannot penetrate the atmosphere but causes natural phenomena such as aurora and at the same time it can cause malfunctions in telecommunication satellites and electricity networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A series of sunspots have formed in the last few days in an area of the Sun&#8217;s surface that faces the Earth, with experts studying the phenomenon speaking of an &#8220;archipelago&#8221; of spots that currently has a diameter 15 times that of the Earth. The spots have begun to produce very strong flares and it is considered almost certain that some of the charged particle waves launched from them or the upcoming flares of the\u2026 archipelago will reach Earth causing smaller and larger telecommunications and electrical blackouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunspots are called the points of the Sun in which there is intense magnetic activity which often produces explosions which have received the name&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1168,2960],"tags":[2843,2842],"class_list":["post-16391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-science-technology","category-technology","tag-sun","tag-sunspots"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16393,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16391\/revisions\/16393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
