The observatory for the study of the luminary was closed without explaining the reasons and all its employees were evacuated.
Scientists from the United States are hiding from the public a terrible secret about the Sun. It was these rumors that the closure of the observatory for studying spots on the star's disk gave rise to. The laboratory was located on Mount Sacramento Peak in New Mexico and was closed under strange circumstances, according to Space.com.
Conspiracy theorists suspect that astronomers have discovered a super-powerful solar flare and have received an order from the US government to hush up this fact. Some went further in their speculation, suggesting that the observatory's personnel were engaged in espionage. The comments of the staff of the research center did not clarify what was happening.
Now competent FBI officers are investigating the circumstances of the closure of the scientific center and the subsequent evacuation of its personnel from Mount Sacramento Peak. The headquarters of the department do not comment on the results of the check.
The Association of Universities for the Research of Astronomy, which, among other things, deals with security issues, said that all other objects of scientists are working as usual.
