People across the U.S. caught a glimpse of the northern lights last night as a geomagnetic storm roiled in our atmosphere.
X9 solar flare launched from sun is the biggest in 7 years — and Earth is in the firing line (again)
The sun has unleashed its most powerful solar flare in 7 years, following another supercharged explosion earlier in the week. Both outbursts have launched coronal mass ejections (CMEs) at Earth, which could trigger vibrant aurora displays across large parts of our planet this weekend.
‘Strongest of its kind’ flare may cause blackouts, massive solar storm on Earth

The Sun Unleashed a Huge Solar Flare at Earth, And We're on Aurora Alert
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are normal behavior for the Sun, particularly when it's in the peak of its activity cycle, as scientists believe is the case right now. They often occur in association with each other, erupting from sunspots on the surface of the Sun.
Sun Unleashes Monumental X9.0 Solar Flare – Most Intense in 7 Years – Captured by NASA Observatory
The Sun unleashed a powerful X9.0 solar flare, the most intense in over 7 years. On October 3, 2024, the Sun emitted an exceptionally powerful X9.0 solar flare, peaking at 8:18 a.m. ET. This event, captured vividly by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory,
Strongest solar flare in 7 years could lead to communication blackouts on Earth
The X9.0 flare takes the crown from the previous strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25, which was an X8.7 flare on May 14.
Most Powerful Solar Flare in 7 Years Blasts Earth: Expect Stunning Auroras
Solar flares are currently rampant because the Sun is in the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, letting them off daily since early 2022. Most of the flares are smaller explosions, but we're definitely seeing an uptick in X-class flares, the most powerful category that we can measure.
Huge solar flare could bring amazing aurora on Earth
