Mega Solar Flare Fuels Earthly Disruption and Light Shows | Solar Flare, Sun Storm, Space Weather | Sun Photos, Northern Lights & Aurora | Space.com: "A whopper of a solar flare that fired up earlier this week is wreaking havoc on some radio communications on Earth, and could spark exceptional auroras soon.
The class X solar flare – the most powerful kind of solar flare – spewed from the sun Monday (Feb. 14), unleashing a massive wave of charged particles speeding toward Earth. Now the flare has triggered a geomagnetic storm in our planet's magnetic field that interrupted radio communications in China and could disrupt satellites and power grids as well, AFP reported."
