"Massive Solar Flare Causes Temporary Radio Signal Disruption on Earth"

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the largest solar flare in years, causing two hours of radio interference on Earth. The flare, accompanied by a massive radio burst, disrupted communication and affected even higher frequencies. Scientists are monitoring the sunspot region for a possible coronal mass ejection that could trigger a geomagnetic storm, disrupting high-frequency radio signals and potentially causing northern lights in the coming days. The sun is nearing the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, with maximum sunspot activity predicted for 2025.
