Solar flares are energetic bursts of plasma that move outwards from the sun. They form from the interaction of the sun’s magnetic field and rotation.

The approaching solar storm has the potential to disrupt Earth’s satellite signals and even power grids.

Space weather can interfere with life on Earth as well as technological infrastructure in space and on the ground.

The powerful eruption, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), was seen emanating from the suns far side on the evening of April 11 and took less than a day to strike Mercury which is the closest planet to our star, according to spaceweather.com.

The coronal mass ejection emerged from the corpse of old sunspot AR2987 hurling debris directly toward Earth.

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint project of the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) has captu
