A powerful X2.9 solar flare from sunspot AR3664 on the Sun's southeastern limb is expected to cause minor to moderate geomagnetic storms on Earth from May 29-30, potentially affecting satellites and electrical grids but not significantly impacting daily life. This follows a major solar storm earlier in the month that disrupted radio waves and produced visible aurorae across the U.S.
The sunspot AR3664, responsible for the strongest magnetic storm in two decades, is returning and could cause blackouts and auroras. A recent class X2.8 solar flare and coronal mass ejection from this sunspot have raised concerns, although the CME won't impact Earth. The sunspot will be fully Earth-facing around June 6, potentially generating another powerful solar storm.
The notorious sunspot cluster AR3664 has reappeared, continuing to emit significant radiation and recently causing a strong X2.8 solar flare. This sunspot, responsible for the strongest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years earlier this month, is now turning to face Earth again, potentially leading to more solar storms and disruptions in technology, while also creating colorful auroras.
