An explosive process called magnetic reconnection triggers solar flares, which can, in just minutes, release enough energy to power the whole world for 20,000 years.

The flare erupted from a region just beyond the southwest limb of the Sun - likely former Region 2992.

The X-class flare was a very serious one, but it won't interfere with anything on Earth. The Sun acted too soon on the day of celebration - July 4, as a great solar flare erupted on the 3rd of July. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory was able to capture the outburst. (Photo : Getty Images)  X-class Flare  The flare that erupted was an X1.5-class flare. The largest flare the Sun emits is the X-classflare, before A-, B-, C-, and M-class flares. X-class flares are 10 times more powerful than M-class flares, on the hitting order, they are the next one down, and are our solar system's largest ex...

NASA explained the magnetosphere of the Earth shields us from solar particles. But when there is an emission of CME from the sun, it can lead to a disturbance in the magnetosphere of the Earth. This is the reason scientists often monitor space weather with the use of sol...
