NASA reported sunspot region 4114 unleashed a powerful X1.2-class solar flare on June 17, disrupting shortwave radio communication, especially over the Pacific, including Hawaii. Frequencies below ...

An active region of the Sun, known as sunspot 4114, has just produced an X1.9-class flare. This event, which occurred on June 19, had an impact on Earth and our communications. X-class solar flares ...

Captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, the flare was recorded at 11:50 pm UTC. Classified as an X1.9 solar flare, the blast ranked among the most extreme solar phenomena.

Just a few days ago, the same sunspot region erupted with another X-class solar flare, measuring X1.2. The prolific flare factory doesn't look like stopping anytime soon.
