Solar Flare! Blackouts expected

A gargantuan solar flare that broke out from the Sun is moving toward us and is predicted to bring about blackouts.

A solar flare that might trigger a strong solar storm is predicted to strike Earth shortly, according to space researchers. When a solar flare erupted from the Sun on June 14, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a notice.

The Earth might soon be blasted by a solar flare that is powerful enough to disrupt radio communications in vulnerable places like the poles. Dr. Tamitha Skov, a scientist, tweeted the warning about the probable solar storm on social media.

The large solar flare, which might turn into a solar storm today, July 18, could cause probable blackouts all around the world, according to the space expert. Although it is unlikely that this solar storm would do any serious damage, it may generate northern lights in some regions of the earth. It might be of G-3 magnitude.

A solar flare is a powerful localised outburst of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun’s atmosphere, according to the definition of the phenomena. The five main classifications of a solar flare are A, B, C, M, and X, with X being the category having the maximum intensity.
