Earth Faces Radio Blackouts as Sun Emits Series of Powerful Flares

Recent solar activity peaks with multiple X-class flares, disrupting communications and threatening further geomagnetic storms.

A sequence of intense solar flares, including an X4.5 flare, has caused significant radio blackouts across Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Sunspot region AR3663, currently the most active, has produced several high-intensity flares as the Sun reaches the peak of its 11-year solar cycle.
Scientists monitor potential coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which could exacerbate impacts on Earth's power grids and satellite operations.
No immediate geomagnetic storms predicted, but ongoing solar activity raises concerns for future disruptions.
Auroras may become visible at unusually low latitudes, adding a visual spectacle amid the solar disturbances.
