"Sun's Explosive Solar Flares Disrupt Earth's Radio Signals and Power Grids"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an intense X1.0 solar flare on July 2, 2023. Solar flares are sudden releases of energy in the Sun's atmosphere, and this X-class flare is classified as one of the most intense. Solar flares can disrupt high-frequency radio communications, pose a threat to satellites and astronauts in space due to increased radiation levels, and cause geomagnetic storms that can disrupt power grids. They may also have effects on Earth's climate.
