![]() ![]() ![]() The sun erupted with a massive Solar Flare late on April 24, triggering a temporary Communications blackout on some parts of Earth. The powerful Flare peaked at 8:27 p.m. EDT, April 25, and ranked as an X1.3-class Solar storm, one of the strongest types of flares the sun can experience, according to a report from the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center. NASA's sun-watching Solar Dynamics Observatory captured video of the intense solar flare in several difference wavelengths. The Solar Flare erupted from an active sunspot region k**wn as Region 2035 located on the far western side (or limb) of the sun as seen from Earth. Because of its position, the Flare sparked a high-frequency radio blackout for about an hour on the daytime side of Earth, most likely over the Pacific Ocean and Eastern Pacific Rim, according to the SWPC update SEE ALSO: Photos of The Biggest Solar Flares of 2014 Read more...
