"Sun's Explosive Solar Flares Disrupt Earth's Radio Signals and Power Grids"
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.
