X1.4 Solar Flare Knocks Out Radio Ahead of Artemis 2 Moon Mission
TL;DR Summary
A powerful X1.4 solar flare from sunspot region 4405 caused radio blackouts on Earth’s sunlit side and launched a fast CME, with NOAA warning of a possible Earth-directed component and a moderate G2 geomagnetic storm watch. NASA’s Artemis 2 moon mission is planned no earlier than April 1, but space weather could disrupt launch communications and early maneuvers; if the CME impacts Earth, auroras could appear at unusually low latitudes in the United States.
