A report from the institute stated: “On Sunday, October 12, scientists observed a large protuberance on the northeastern side of the Sun. It appears the Sun is trying to eject it into space in parts.”

The statement pointed out that this protuberance, consisting of a massive cloud of hot gases on the Sun’s surface, can be seen even through telescopes used by amateur astronomers due to its large size. There is a 90% chance that the protuberance will detach from the Sun as a single piece during Sunday or Monday.

Such protuberances sometimes cause waves of energy that affect some planets and Earth, resulting in magnetic storms that disrupt power systems on our planet and affect the migration paths of birds and animals. Strong magnetic storms can also impact communication and navigation systems. The intensity of these storms is classified into five levels based on disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field, coded from G1 (weak) to G5 (very strong).

Last September, astronomers observed an explosion on the Sun that caused two giant protuberances to appear, each about a million kilometers long. The energy emissions from these protuberances affected some planets in the solar system.
