Solar Energetics ExplainedThis dashboard answers: “Is the Sun flaring right now, and are particles becoming dangerous?”August 9, 2025Reading the Solar Energetics Dashboard TL;DR (what each chart means) X-ray flux: spikes = solar flares (fast impacts like radio issues). Proton flux: big rise = radiation storm risk (astronauts, polar flights, satellites). Electron flux: high levels can increase satellite charging risk. Beginner flow See a spike in X-rays → a flare is happening. Then watch protons over the next hours → do we get a particle event? If you work with satellites, keep an eye on electrons too.
