Powerful M-Class Solar Flare Sends Energy Toward Earth #Sun A powerful M-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun, releasing a surge of energy, radiation, and charged particles toward Earth. This type of solar event signals a notable increase in solar activity and highlights how dynamic and unpredictable our star can be. Because the flare originated from the Earth-facing side of the Sun, its effects may interact with Earth’s magnetosphere, potentially impacting satellites, GPS systems, radio c

M7.1 Solar Flare – Earth-Facing CME | Early January 2026 A significant M7.1-class solar flare has recently erupted from an active region on the Sun, launching an Earth-facing Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). Current timing places the CME impact window at around 3 January 2026. This event represents a renewed burst of high-energy particles and magnetised plasma, marking a notable escalation in solar activity as we begin the year. The flare itself was energetic and well-defined, with a clear release o

M5.1 Solar Flare Triggers Radio Blackout on Earth #SolarStorm A powerful M5.1 solar flare erupted from the Sun’s Earth-facing side, causing a moderate R2 radio blackout across parts of the sunlit side of our planet. ☀️🌍 The flare originated from an unnumbered active region near AR 4323, disrupting high-frequency (HF) radio communications used in aviation, maritime operations, and emergency services. Although the flare has subsided, scientists at NOAA are closely monitoring the active region for
