The Sun Unleashes a Massive X7.1 Solar Flare!
On Oct. 1, the Sun fired off a monster X7.1 solar flare, the second most powerful of Solar Cycle 25! This epic flare, peaking at 6:20 p.m. EDT, sent shockwaves through Earth's atmosphere, causing radio blackouts across parts of the Pacific Ocean, Western Hemisphere, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region.
But that's not all! A massive Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) was also launched, heading straight for Earth and set to hit on Oct. 4, possibly creating stunning auroras and strong geomagnetic storms. This could impact power grids, navigation systems, and even satellites! ️
