The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported disruptions in the Midwest and eastern US regions, affecting radar, GPS, and satellite communications.
NOAA predicted a 60% chance of radio blackouts lingering into the weekend due to the solar activity. The sunspot causing the disturbances had previously caused a significant superstorm.
Solar activity over the last 24 hours was labeled 'moderate,' with multiple flares and a 60% chance of radio blackouts continuing through Friday as per NOAA's dashboard.
Solar radiation storms, caused by charged particles accelerated near the sun, pose risks to satellite communications and Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, inducing disruptions and radiation hazards.
