According to the laboratory, a large explosion was observed on the Sun around midday; images from coronagraphs show material flying off in various directions.
Scientists report that the source of the explosion is located on the far side of the Sun. Therefore, it has not yet been directly observed by any artificial satellite.
"Two weeks ago, when the currently invisible side of the Sun was facing Earth, no particularly noteworthy phenomena were observed there, only several moderately active regions," the report states.
According to astronomers, if this explosion is related to one of those active regions, then based on the direction of the ejection, a bright flash could have occurred at that time in the group of spots located on the visible part of the solar disk—below the equator, on the right side.
Direct visual observation of the explosion site will only be possible approximately a week later, when the group of spots begins to emerge from behind the Sun's left limb towards Earth.
