Overview

• NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded an X1.5-class solar flare on July 28, 2024.
• The flare caused radio blackouts across Asia and Australia, highlighting the power of such solar events.
• Multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are expected to hit Earth, potentially causing geomagnetic storms.
• A phenomenon known as a 'cannibal CME' could enhance the impact of these solar eruptions.
• Auroras may be visible in mid-latitude regions due to the incoming solar material.
