Solar flares ☀️ Solar flares are huge bursts of energy released from the Sun. These intense bursts of radiation take just a few minutes to reach millions of degrees, and their effects can be devastating, causing blackouts and interfering with satellites. Solar flares sound scary, but they won't exactly destroy Earth. Occasional flares from the Sun could reach our planet if they are especially powerful, at which point they can cause damage to power grids. #freeAstroSci #FollowTheScience #scientif

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such sp

The Sun unleashed an X2.7-class solar flare on May 14, 2025, the most powerful of 2025 to date. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in multiple wavelengths.
