An outburst that erupted from the Sun in 2021 was so violent that it was simultaneously felt on multiple Solar System bodies as it blasted through.
Earth orbiter, and ground-based neutron monitors on Earth all detected the influx of radiation.
Earth and Mars were on opposite sides of the Sun at the time, separated by a distance of around 250 million kilometers ; and Mars, of course, is farther from the Sun than Earth. So the detections allowed the scientists to study the way material from a CME propagates, and the effects at various points in the inner Solar System.
On Earth, the orbital dose of radiation would have been 10 milligray, but the surface amount was negligible. The Moon registered an orbital measurement of 31 milligray, and a surface measurement of 17 milligray. Meanwhile, on Mars, the orbital measurement was 9 milligray, and 0.3 milligray on the surface.
"Our calculations of the past ground level enhancement events show that on average one event every 5.5 years may have exceeded the safe dose level on the Moon if no radiation protection had been provided,""Understanding these events is crucial for future crewed missions to the surface of the Moon."after a CME is launched for the particles to arrive at Earth and beyond, between around 15-18 hours to a few days.
