NASA warns of potential blackouts across Earth due to solar flares erupting on the sun
- NASA observed a strong X2.7 solar flare erupting from the Sun at 4:25 a.m. EDT on May 14, 2025, impacting Earth-facing regions.
- This event occurred as the Sun reaches its solar maximum, a peak in its 11-year cycle marked by magnetic pole flips and increased solar activity.
- Solar flares send energy, light, and particles into space, often accompanied by coronal mass ejections that disrupt Earth's magnetic field and technology.
- NOAA reported that the flare caused high-frequency radio blackouts in the Middle East for about 10 minutes and warned of risks to satellites and power grids.
- Ongoing solar eruptions from active sunspot regions rotating towards Earth could cause auroras and further blackouts affecting communications and navigation systems.
