Earth, solar flare and coronal mass ejection
Monster X-class flare launches massive solar storm towards Earth — and could trigger auroras this weekend
The sun just unleashed one of its largest solar explosions in recent years, temporarily causing a radio blackout on Earth and spitting out a coronal mass ejection that will likely collide with our planet this weekend.
The Sun launches major X-class solar flare toward Earth that could trigger auroras over the weekend
Scientists have stated that on Tuesday, the sun released a massive solar flare that is likely to trigger a vibrant aurora display.
‘Strongest of its kind’ flare may cause blackouts, massive solar storm on Earth
Earth is bracing for blackouts after the sun unleashed a massive X-class solar flare — the most powerful it can generate — Tuesday evening.
Most Powerful Solar Flare in 7 Years Blasts Earth: Expect Stunning Auroras
Solar flares are currently rampant because the Sun is in the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, letting them off daily since early 2022. Most of the flares are smaller explosions, but we're definitely seeing an uptick in X-class flares, the most powerful category that we can measure.
Huge solar flare could bring amazing aurora on Earth
NASA explain: "Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel."
'Intense' Solar Flare Will Cause Major Geomagnetic Storms and Aurora Displays, NASA Says
Authorities predict that states as far south as Oregon and Illinois will be able to see auroras between now and Oct. 6
How the Impending Major Geomagnetic Storm Will Impact Earth—and Where to See Auroras
What is a geomagnetic storm? A geomagnetic storm is a space weather phenomenon caused by explosions on the Sun’s surface. There are two different solar events that come into pla
