Solar fury hits earth: X2.7 flare triggers radio blackouts across five continents
 
The sun isn’t just rising—it’s raging.

On Wednesday, the fiery ball of gas unleashed two massive flares, including the strongest eruption of the year so far.

These back-to-back solar storms have caused shortwave radio blackouts across five continents, with scientists watching closely for signs that the sun’s activity is ramping up.
 
According to Spaceweather.com, parts of North America, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East have reported shortwave radio blackouts since Tuesday.

The solar flare, which peaked at 4:25 am. ET, hurled streams of plasma and charged particles into the cosmos as the sun fired off a huge X-class flare.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

But only human usage of fossil fuels and cow farts have an effect on climate. :whistle:

Of course this is not human induced, nonetheless, this is still a huge threat to mankind.
