A NASA telescope has captured the biggest solar flare in years, which temporarily knocked out radio communication on Earth. Multiple pilots reported communication disruptions, with the impact felt ...
The solar storms of May 2024 were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25. The geomagnetic storm was the most powerful to affect Earth since March 1989 , [a] and produced aurorae at far more equatorial latitudes than usual in both the ...
June 26, 2024 at 7:18 AM. A massive sunspot that caused last month’s intense auroras across large portions of the planet is once again returning to face the Earth. The AR3723 sunspot, which was ...
May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares and X4.5-class flare. The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th solar cycle.
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...

The eyewear -focused group designs, produces and markets ophthalmic lenses, optical equipment, prescription glasses and sunglasses .
The good news is that Earth should be out of the line of fire this time because the flare erupted on a part of the sun moving away from Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the bright flash of the X-ray flare. It was the strongest since 2005, rated on the scale for these flares as X8.7.
The March 1989 geomagnetic storm occurred as part of severe to extreme solar storms during early to mid March 1989, the most notable being a geomagnetic storm that struck Earth on March 13. This geomagnetic storm caused a nine-hour outage of Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system. The onset time was exceptionally rapid. [1]
