The Sun Continues its Journey to Solar Maximum, Releasing X-Class Flares By Nancy_A
The Sun belted out strong solar flares two days in a row, as activity ramps up toward the next Solar Maximum, predicted for mid-2025.
On Saturday, February 11, a flare classified as X1.1 erupted from the Sun, while just a day before a different region on the Sun blasted out a X1.0 flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash on the upper left side of the image – on Jan. 10, 2023. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and is colorized in red and gold. Credit: NASA/SDO
Solar flares are giant explosions on the Sun that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space. These are the most energetic events in our Solar System and they can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. The flare on the 11th created a temporary radio blackout over South America, according to the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center operated by NOAA.
