Solar Flare and CME Threaten Earth with Blackouts Today

A dangerous sunspot, designated as AR3315, has emerged on the visible part of the Sun facing Earth, possessing a magnetic field capable of triggering powerful eruptions. Experts predict a 55% probability of an M-class solar flare and a 10% chance of X-flares occurring on May 28th. There is a chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts and a slight chance for R3 (Strong) over the next couple of days. NOAA and NASA are monitoring the Sun's behavior using satellites to track different measurements of the Sun and its atmospheres.
