The Sun Unleashed a Huge Solar Flare at Earth
Biggest Solar Flare in 7 Years Just Released a Coronal Mass Ejection Headed Our Way
The Sun is approaching its solar maximum, the apex of its 11-year solar cycle. With that we can expect more tempestuous and violent solar storms and it just released an absolute behemoth of a flare.
X9 solar flare launched from sun is the biggest in 7 years — and Earth is in the firing line (again)
The sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare since 2017, just days after it spat out another monster explosion. Both outbursts have launched solar storms that will likely hit Earth this weekend and trigger vibrant aurora displays.

Most Powerful Solar Flare in 7 Years Blasts Earth: Expect Stunning Auroras
The Sun just unleashed the most powerful flare we've seen in seven years. On October 3, a flare measured at a strength of X9.0 exploded right in the middle of the solar disk. Even more excitingly, it was accompanied by what is known as a halo coronal mass ejection – one that is ejected straight at Earth.
Powerful Solar Flare to Trigger Auroras and Possible Communication Disruptions
On October 1, 2024, the sun unleashed an X7.1-class solar flare, one of the most powerful solar events in recent years. This eruption triggered a temporary radio blackout over parts of the Pacific Ocean and sent a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurtling toward Earth.
