Powerful M-Class Solar Flare Sends Energy Toward Earth #Sun A powerful M-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun, releasing a surge of energy, radiation, and charged particles toward Earth. This type of solar event signals a notable increase in solar activity and highlights how dynamic and unpredictable our star can be. Because the flare originated from the Earth-facing side of the Sun, its effects may interact with Earth’s magnetosphere, potentially impacting satellites, GPS systems, radio c

9K views · 319 reactions | The GOES East satellite caught a significant solar flare yesterday on its Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI). NOAA's NWS Space Weather Prediction Center predicts a strong geomagnetic storm reaching Earth on Oct. 30 and the potential for aurora as far south as Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Oregon.

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P 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 sp
