Solar Flare Hits Earth
A powerful solar flare erupted from the Sun, causing radio blackouts across North America and the Pacific Ocean. The flare was classified as an X1.5 on the solar flare scale. An X1.5 flare can emit energy equivalent to billions of hydrogen bombs. The flare caused radio communications to be disrupted in the western United States and the Pacific Ocean. The radio blackouts affected amateur radio operators, air traffic controllers, and GPS users across the US. The blackouts lasted for several hours, but they have since subsided. Space weather forecasters are warning that there could be more solar flares on the way. The sun is currently escalating towards the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, predicted to take place in July 2025. Hence, the Sun is expected to produce more powerful flares in the coming months.
