A large explosion on the sun unleashed a robust solar flare from a brand new sunspot on Monday (Jan. 9), one that’s slowly turning to face the Earth.
The solar flare erupted at 1:50 p.m. EST (1850 GMT) as a X1.9-class sun storm that induced a brief, however robust, radio blackout throughout elements of South America, Central America and the Pacific Ocean, in keeping with a statement (opens in new tab) from the U.S. Area Climate Prediction Heart on the Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. X-class flares are the strongest varieties of storms from the sun. Monday’s flare got here from the identical sunspot that fired off an X1.2-class solar flare on Jan. 5, NOAA reported.
