Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel.
Recently, the Sun emitted two strong solar flares on June 1, peaking at 4:48 a.m. and 2:36 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the events, which were classified as X1.4 and X1.0, respectively.
