Powerful solar flare erupts on the Sun, causes blackouts on Earth; solar storm feared
In the early hours of June 9, a massive solar flare erupted on the surface of the Sun. The solar flare was caused due to multiple explosions in the recently spotted sunspot AR3053. Just a day before, NASA reported on the sunspot and confirmed that it was both growing and facing the Earth causing a higher risk of solar storms. It was also reported that the sunspot contains two dark cores, each of them wider than the Earth. And now, the first solar activity has already taken place there. The radiation from the solar flare has caused shortwave radio blackouts on Earth along with disruptions for GPS systems and amateur radio. Scientists are also on the lookout for any coronal mass ejections released towards the Earth during the eruption as it can cause further solar storms.
