"The Sun's Unprecedented Outburst: Understanding the Impact of Three Massive Solar Flares in 24 Hours"

The sun recently emitted three powerful X-class solar flares within 24 hours, disrupting high-frequency radio communications on Earth and potentially causing radio blackouts over the Pacific and Indian oceans. While the first two flares did not release coronal mass ejections (CMEs), the impact of the third flare is still being assessed. Despite speculation, the solar flares are unlikely to have caused the recent AT&T cellular network outage. Skywatchers may miss out on northern lights displays due to the absence of CMEs, but there are still chances for more solar flares and CMEs as the active sunspot region continues to be active.
