Sun Erupts with X2.3 Solar Flare, Causes Radio Blackouts
On November 6, 2024, sunspot AR 3883 unleashed a powerful X2.3 solar flare, causing radio blackouts in parts of South America and Africa. The flare, classified as a strong solar event, disrupted high-frequency radio signals. Scientists are awaiting data from NASA’s SOHO spacecraft to assess the potential impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) on...

The Sun Fires Off Another High Intensity X Flare, Triggers Radio Blackouts
On October 7, 2024, sunspot AR 3842 released another powerful X2.1 solar flare, causing significant radio blackouts across North and South America, as well as over the Pacific Ocean. This is the second major flare from AR 3842 after it previously unleashed the most intense solar flare in seven years. Scientists from NOAA are currently analysing dat...

NASA Might Have Spotted Highest Number of Sunspots in Over 20 Years
On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...
