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.
X9 solar flare launched from sun is the biggest in 7 years — and Earth is in the firing line (again)
The sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare since 2017, just days after it spat out another monster explosion. Both outbursts have launched solar storms that will likely hit Earth this weekend and trigger vibrant aurora displays.
Powerful solar flare may lead to auroras on Earth
The sun released a powerful solar flare to start the month of October, which could lead to supercharged aurora displays over the weekend.
Powerful solar flare is headed towards Earth, Nasa says
A powerful solar flare has been hurled out of the Sun, and could cause disruption on Earth. The flare comes amid increasing solar activity that has brought a run of intense space weather in recent days and weeks.
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.
