The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Jan. 18, peaking at 1:09 PM ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9. https://go.nasa.gov/4pMKbLQ 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 we

👉🚨 Historic Solar Storm Alert! ☀️ The Sun has triggered one of the strongest space weather events in decades. According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, a Severe S4 Solar Radiation Storm is underway — the most intense level seen since the famous Halloween storms of October 2003. The event is active right now and still developing. --- 🌍 What’s going on? ✅ A powerful solar eruption is headed our way. • On January 18, the Sun released a long-lasting X1.9-class solar flare. • That flare
