Earlier this month, the sun unleashed the most powerful streams of plasma in 20 years, causing global communication disruptions.
NOAA predicts a 60% chance of radio blackouts this week due to a powerful solar flare from AR3664, causing concern for disruptions similar to those seen before.
'I have not seen an explosion like this in my 40 years of observing the sun,' said amateur astronomer Michael Karrer from Austria, describing the magnitude of the recent solar flare.
