A powerful X2.7-class solar flare erupted on May 14, leading NASA to warn of potential disruptions to global communications, navigation, and power grids. The solar storm has already resulted in radio blackouts across regions in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and further impacts are anticipated as the active sunspot region rotates towards Earth. In addition to potential disruptions, stunning northern lights are expected across parts of eleven US states, offering a unique visual event amid the looming challenges presented by the solar storm.
NASA issued a warning after a powerful X2.7-class solar flare was detected, threatening to impact communications, navigation systems, and power grids globally.
Solar flares, among the most powerful explosions in the solar system, can cause radio blackouts and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts.
As the active region rotates toward Earth, more radio blackouts and communication interferences are predicted in the coming days.
The storm may bring stunning northern lights across eleven US states, creating a visual spectacle amidst the expected disruptions.
