Starting on June 10, the sun emitted a ****** of powerful solar flares, k**wn as "X-Class" flares, which were observed in brilliant colors by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The flares erupted from the left side of the sun, twice on June 10 and once on June 11, according to NASA.
Wednesday's flare was classified as an X1.0, whereas Tuesday's flares were a bit stronger, at X1.5 and X2.2. According to NASA, "X-Class" flares are the most intense of all solar flares. An X2 flare is twice as intense as an X1, and an X3 is three times as intense as an X1
