Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the Sun caused by the release of magnetic energy in its atmosphere. They occur in active regions near sunspots and can emit electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum, from radio waves to X-rays and gamma rays. These flares can impact Earth’s space environment, potentially disrupting satellite communications, GPS signals, and power grids. Strong solar flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can send charged partic

The Sun just fired SIX X-class solar flares in November — one of the most explosive months of Solar Cycle 25. Several of these flares launched fast CMEs, and a few even triggered radio blackouts across parts of Earth. This is a clear sign the Sun is entering peak activity… and stronger eruptions are still possible. Solar flares happen when twisted magnetic fields around sunspots snap, releasing massive bursts of radiation. X-class flares are the strongest category — capable of disrupting satelli
