Solar flares are the largest explosions in the solar system. The energy released by one solar flare in one second is 10 million times more powerful than the energy released by a volcanic eruption. Here's more about the explosions and how they impact us here on Earth. | FOX Weather

#FirstpostNews: Sun Releases Strong Flare, Energy Equivalent to a Billion Bombs The Sun released a powerful solar flare on February 3, following several flares in previous days. NASA confirmed it was an X-class flare, the most intense category of solar flares. The European Space Agency said such flares can release as much energy as a billion atomic bombs. The Space Weather Prediction Center noted that flares of this strength are rare but not unprecedented. These solar flares can trigger geomagne

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Jan. 18, peaking at 1:09 PM ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9. https://go.nasa.gov/4pMKbLQ 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 space we

The Sun just hit Earth hard!☀️🌎 NOAA (Space Weather Prediction Center) has confirmed that since January 19, 2026, Earth has been experiencing a severe G4 geomagnetic storm, together with an S4 solar radiation storm—the first event of this intensity since 2003. The disturbance was triggered by an X1.9 solar flare and a coronal mass ejection (CME) that reached our planet in just 25 hours, an exceptionally rapid transit. The most visible impact is in the sky: the strong interaction between the sol
