#VantageOnFirstpost: Sun Erupts with Strongest Solar Flare of 2025, Sparks Radio Blackouts A powerful solar flare erupted from the Sun on Tuesday, marking the strongest of 2025. Classified as an X5.1 event, it originated from sunspot region AR4274 and released radiation that reached Earth within minutes. The flare caused a strong R3-level radio blackout over Africa and Europe, according to the US Space Weather Prediction Centre. It was followed by a coronal mass ejection travelling at about 4.4

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 6, 2024, peaking at 8:40 a.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X2.3. https://go.nasa.gov/48HTrtR 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 s

🔥 X2.7 Solar Flare Strikes – More Incoming? 🔥 The Sun has just unleashed its most powerful eruption of the year. A massive X2.7-class flare erupted from sunspot AR4087 at 08:25 UTC, causing radio blackouts across parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. That same region also produced an M5.3 flare earlier today, and it’s not done yet. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is now forecasting a 75 percent chance of another M-class flare and a 30 percent chance of another X-class event in the
