Earth is Being Blasted by Solar Flares, Largest Active Region Since 1990

Earth is Being Blasted by Solar Flares, Largest Active Region Since 1990

The sun’s currently active solar flare region — 2192 — is blasting away at us and causing strong radio blackouts in hotspots across the planet. This is the largest active solar flare region since November 1990, and even that large event didn’t produce X-class flares causing R3-R5 (strongest) radio blackouts.

This current active region has shot four of those big suckers at us in four days and the 6th since the region went hot on the 19th.
