X-Class Solar Flare From Sunspot 3912 Causes Radio Blackouts in Southern Africa
A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from sunspot region 3912 on December 8, disrupting high-frequency radio communications in southern Africa. The flare, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), ionised Earth’s upper atmosphere, absorbing radio signals and causing blackouts in areas exposed to peak solar activity. Experts predict the CME ...

Solar Storm Expected to Hit Earth on August 3: All You Need to Know
A geomarnetic storm, or solar storm, is headed towards Earth and is predicted to hit the planet today. It has been classified as G1, which means it is mild, the geomagnetic storm is unlikely to cause any damage to life on Earth. However, it can still affect power grids and impact some satellite functions such as those used for GPS systems and mobil...
