Solar flares are large bursts of radiation that manifest themselves as a moment of sudden brightness over the sun's surface The video highlights an M-class flare with an intensity level of 6.5 — much stronger than an M1 flare, the weakest of the group. The X-class, which is the most intense flare, is 10 times more powerful than the M-Class.

The only thing we'd have to worry about is communication: If a flare is intense e**ugh, it can impact the layer of the atmosphere in which GPS and communications signals exist. Read more...
