A major earthquake has occurred on Mount Aragats, and there is a possibility of astrophysical laboratories being discovered there, according to reports. The Russian news agency RIA Novosti states that the Institute of Terrestrial Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences has made this announcement. The laboratory spokesperson stated that a strong X-class flare was recorded on Mount Aragats, marking the first flare of the month. The eruption began at 5 a.m. and the flares were noticed at 07:20.

Based on preliminary data, the eruption took place on the border between Ararat and Earth, causing a significant disturbance in the plasma mass ejections. The estimated magnitude of the flare is X1.1. However, scientists emphasize that the exact location of the eruption has yet to be determined. There are indications that two simultaneous eruptions occurred within a distance of nearly half a million kilometers from each other.

The laboratory scientists expect a significant change in radiation levels in Earth’s magnetosphere, particularly in the vicinity of Mount Aragats, during the early hours. It is likely that plasma clouds with intense radiation will approach Earth either yesterday or on Wednesday, depending on their speed.

Today, clear explanations are anticipated regarding the impact of terrestrial activity, the location of the eruption, and the uncertain radiation levels. These explanations will be based on the analysis of satellite data.
