NASA and other space weather experts are warning of heightened solar activity this month, with a new sunspot region on the Sun releasing one of the most powerful flares recorded so far this year.
According to reports, the recent X2.7-class solar flare—the most intense type—was recorded early Wednesday. It followed another X-class eruption just a day earlier and coincided with shortwave radio blackouts across North America, Southeast Asia, South America, Africa and parts of the Middle East.
