The Sun emitted a strong solar flare peaking at 3:08 a.m. ET on May 27, 2024. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured imagery of the event, which was classified as X2.8: go.nasa.gov/3KhHShN 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. To see how such space weath

Today’s BIG solar flare is causing all these amazing northern lights. It peaked at X5.1 intensity—the strongest flare of 2025 so far and the most powerful since an X9.0 event in October 2024. Solar flares are ranked by their X-ray brightness in 5 classes (A, B, C, M, X), with each class representing a 10x increase in energy output. Within the X class (the most intense), the number indicates further strength. - X1: Baseline strong flare. - X5: About 5x stronger than X1, releasing energy equivalen

Early on November 9, 2025, the Sun erupted with a powerful X-class solar flare — one of the strongest types ever recorded. Scientists are now tracking a possible CME that could impact Earth’s magnetic field in the coming days.

Solar flares ☀️ Solar flares are huge bursts of energy released from the Sun. These intense bursts of radiation take just a few minutes to reach millions of degrees, and their effects can be devastating, causing blackouts and interfering with satellites. Solar flares sound scary, but they won't exactly destroy Earth. Occasional flares from the Sun could reach our planet if they are especially powerful, at which point they can cause damage to power grids. #freeAstroSci #FollowTheScience #scientif
