Multiple M-class solar flares erupt on the Sun triggering radio blackouts on Earth, reveals NOAA

[ad_1] Yesterday, December 5, a minor solar storm struck the Earth sparking auroras in the arctic circles. It was a minor affair, but the solar activities have been relentless with the Sun nearing the peak of its solar cycle. In the last 24 hours, three separate M-class solar flares have erupted on the Sun, releasing extreme ultraviolet radiation. The radiation has resulted in triggering short-wave radio blackouts on Earth, as per data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It is unclear at this point whether any of these eruptions have released coronal mass ejections directed at our planet, which could further cause solar storms in the coming days.The official X account of Space Weather Live, a website monitoring solar storms and other space weather-related phenomena...

Solar storm ALERT! Unstable sunspot takes aim at the Earth; NOAA reveals incoming danger

[ad_1] While the Earth has escaped solar storms lately, it has been riddled with radio blackouts owing to solar flare eruptions that send extreme ultraviolet radiation toward our planet. Just yesterday, an M2.5-class solar flare erupted, but as it was not Earth-directed, the current predictions do not reveal any threat. However, this is set to change as an unstable sunspot named AR3450 has now appeared directly in front of our planet, and is crackling with solar flares. Space weather researchers believe any explosions now will be geoeffective. On top of that, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast models have predicted a chance for a solar flare eruption today, October 3, that can lead to powerful solar storm activity on Earth. Claiming the Earth to be in th...

Powerful M-class solar flare sparks blackout over Atlantic Ocean! NOAA shares details

[ad_1] Over the recent weeks, the Sun has emitted massive amounts of energy in the form of solar flares. While some of these flares unleashed from the Sun pass harmlessly into space, others hit Earth, resulting in geomagnetic storms. Over the past few days, an unstable sunspot named AR3335 has caused concerns due to the possibility of it releasing hazardous solar flares. For those unfamiliar, a sunspot is a dark area on the Sun's surface that appears due to intense magnetic activity.As per a SpaceWeather.com report, this unstable Sunspot AR3335 exploded on June 18th. Resultantly, it produced an M2.5-class solar flare. “The explosion lasted long enough to lift a CME out of the sun's atmosphere since confirmed by SOHO coronagraphs,” the report added. How strong it is? According to NASA, s...

Dangerous sunspot boosts solar flare risk to new high today! Blackouts expected

[ad_1] A dangerous sunspot has emerged on the Sun and it may have a significant effect on Earth! Just a few days ago, there was no sign of sunspot AR3315. However, according to SpaceWeather.com, it has now become the largest and most dangerous sunspot on the visible part of the Sun- the side facing the Earth at the moment. This sunspot, designated as AR3315, possesses a magnetic field classified as 'beta-gamma-delta,' which contains a considerable amount of energy capable of triggering powerful eruptions. For those who may not know, a sunspot is a dark, relatively cooler region that appears on the surface of the Sun due to intense magnetic activity. The experts at NOAA predict a 55 percent probability of an M-class solar flare. However, things may get really serious too. It also says th...

Prepare for a solar storm attack today! Read NOAA warning

[ad_1] This week has been oddly quiet for the Sun. While there have been reports of a new sunspot emerging on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, it has not shown any signs of turning unstable so far. However, the Earth will still have to deal with the terrifying explosions that took place in the notorious sunspot AR3234 last weekend. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) earlier reported that multiple M-class solar flares erupted on March 4 and 5 and they released a huge amount of coronal mass ejection (CME) towards the Earth. Now, the CME cloud is expected to sideswipe our planet today, March 9 to produce a solar storm. Check details below.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “Minor solar storms are possible later today or tomor...

Solar storm coming? High chances of solar flare eruption today, NOAA issues warning

[ad_1] The solar storm on Valentine's day is still making headlines. Meanwhile, the Sun is already preparing its next assault. The month of February has been a turbulent one for the Earth. There have been multiple solar storm events and one X-class solar flare eruption so far this month. And now, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued another warning, February 16. There is a high chance of a solar flare eruption today. This can cause radio blackouts on Earth and if the flare is intense enough, it can also release a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud towards the Earth and cause spark a solar storm.The report comes from SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “NOAA forecasters say there is a 45% chance of M-class solar flares and a 10% chance of X-flare...

Solar flare Alert! Gigantic sunspot set to explode, says NOAA; blackouts on Earth feared

[ad_1] A massive sunspot can explode any moment, and spew out a powerful solar flare. This can even cause radio blackouts on Earth. In the last few days, the Earth was anticipating a big threat from the Sun. It is a gigantic sunspot called AR3141 which exploded last week resulting in a massive solar flare eruption on the farside of the Sun. If that solar flare had hit the Earth, it would have caused heavy radiation damage to satellites and wireless communication but luckily it wasn't facing our planet. However, the same sunspot is now facing the Earth. And as per National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) prediction, it can again explode. Know the scary consequences if a solar flare burst does hit the Earth today.The report came from SpaceWeather.com which noted on its w...

Solar flare disrupts rescue missions of Hurricane Ian in USA! This is what happened

[ad_1] X-class solar flare eruptions put a temporary halt on emergency responders who were carrying out disaster response and rescue missions from the aftermath of hurricane Ian. On Sunday, October 2, Hurricane Ian affected regions in the USA suffered a temporary setback as the Sun blasted powerful X-class solar flares in the direction of the Earth. The solar flare charge disrupted the communication systems and rendered the various disaster response and rescue missions useless for a short period of time. This timing proved to be extremely critical as the hurricane has caused massive damage to life and property and the emergency services were aiming to save the victims, who are fighting between life and death, as soon as possi...
