The M8.6-class solar flare emitted from a sunspot caused radio blackouts, due to ionizing the Earth's atmosphere and interfering with radio transmissions.
The sun continued acting out this week when it spewed out a strong solar flare, causing radio blackouts over the U.S. and Latin America.
The flare, classified as an M8.6-class flare, was released by sunspot region 3234 at around 12:50 p.m. ET on February 28, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. As the flare hit our planet, it interacted with our atmosphere, causing a loss of signal below 30 MHz over much of the Americas for the 30 minutes after the flare arrived. This came only days after spectacularNASA Solar Dynamics Observatory image of the sun as the solar flare explodes out from its surface. The solar flare caused radio blackouts over the U.S., mostly X-rays, spat out from the sun's surface.
"Solar flares are classified according to how bright they are in the soft X-ray part of the spectrum," Gonzalo José Carracedo Carballal, an astrophysics researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial in Madrid, Spain,
