Sun's Radiant Fury Sparks Geomagnetic Storm Warning for Earth and Neighboring Planets
TL;DR
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an X1.0 class solar flare on June 20, 2023. Solar flares are violent eruptions of high-energy particles and gases ejected from the sun's magnetic field into space. They are classified into three categories based on their x-ray intensity: X-class, M-class, and C-class. Solar flares can cause radio communication disruption, geomagnetic storms, auroras, radiation risk, and damage to satellites. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory is a mission dedicated to studying the Sun and its influence on Earth and near-Earth space.
