The sunspot that produced the historic geomagnetic storm that led to May s global auroras has made headlines again, producing the strongest radiation storm since 2017.
On Dec 17, M class solar flare blasted the Earth with both X-rays and UV radiation after an eruption from the Sun, prompting a shortwave radio blackout across part of the world; NOAA forecasters say there could possibly be more M-class flares. Active Region-2911, the source of the solar flare, is expected to produce more flares.
