New Delhi, July 4 (Ians) The Sun has emitted a strong X-class solar flare triggering a strong radio blackout on various places on Earth, according to NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (Sdo) which recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash.
The Sdo classified the flare as an X1.0 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength.
The strong solar flare peaked at 7.14 p.m. Et on July 2, the agency said.
This was reportedly the 18th X-class solar flare of Solar Cycle 25, or the active phase of Sun’s 11-year solar weather cycle.
“X Flare In Progress!!! Sunspot region AR3354 near the Nw limb just produced an X1.07 Flare. That is the 18th X flare during SC25 (compared to just 14 from SC24),” Keith Strong, a solar physicist, wrote on Twitter.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids,...
