Tag: SOLAR PROTON EVENT

ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 has recently been able to detect massive solar events that were missed by most of the global satellites. Even NASA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) could not detect the event. The reason is GOES orbit around the earth and cannot detect the event due to the its magnetic force. As the earth's magnetic field works in protecting the planet from harmful solar events. But Chandrayaan-2 is orbiting around the Moon because for this reason the event was captured successfully by it. Chandrayaan-2 orbiters detected two M class solar flares - M5.5 and M 1.5.
