Impending Solar Storm Threatens Earth as Sun Unleashes Flares

Astronomers have warned that a solar storm generated by the Sun's recent spewing of immense energy is likely to hit Earth, posing a threat to electronic infrastructure such as the Internet, electricity, mobile phones, and satellites. The recent M2.12-class solar flare eruption caused shortwave radio blackouts across the American continents, and there are concerns about a potential solar storm approaching Earth triggered by Region 3425's M2-flare and a filament launch. The impact is yet to be confirmed, but it is projected to occur around late September 10 or early September 11.
