The sun's solar flares keep on getting stronger - with latest hot spot the size of 15 Earths strung together

The sun's solar flares keep on getting stronger - with latest hot spot the size of 15 Earths strung together | Mail Online: "The sun is a tempestuous mistress - and her outbursts are becoming more and more violent as the weeks go on.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted the summer's first 'X' solar flare on Friday - a huge outburst from the sun right at the top of the scale.

This came on the back of 12 'M' flares in just six days, with a M6.1 flare knocking out radio signals across the planet on Thursday - hinting at the destruction the sun could reign on our technology if Earth takes a full blast across its blow."
