Solar maximum will be reached in 2024 and solar flares, which can affect electronic systems, will be more intense. These flares are produced by the Sun's magnetic fields, which are most intense in sunspots, dark areas the size of the Earth.
The flares launch charged particles towards our planet at 400 kilometers per second that can pose a threat to electronic devices, electrical networks or satellites. The most intense phenomenon of this type recorded in modern times is the Carrington event, named after the astronomer who identified it.
