The sun emitted a powerful solar flare that peaked at 19:14 ET on July 2, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which monitors the Sun continuously, captured the image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar flares can affect radio communications, power grids, navigation signals and pose a risk to spacecraft and astronauts.
This torch is classified as X1.0 torch. While the X class represents the strongest flares, the number gives more information about power.
