NASA is warning of solar storms and solar flares erupting on the surface of the sun, which can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals and pose risks to spacecrafts and astronauts in the orbit. A strong solar flare, peaking at 4:25 a.m. EDT on May 14 was recorded by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. This flare was classified as an X2.7 flare – the highest category for a solar flare. The sun’s most active region is currently moving to face the Earth, which can lead to forecasts of significant space weather.
