Sun erupts with powerful X2.3 solar flare, triggers radio blackouts (video)
In this instance, with such an intense amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that accompanied the flare, a shortwave radio blackout followed in its wake that disrupted high frequency radio signals for different parts of the Atlantic Ocean in the southern hemisphere including in South America and Africa.
Solar Flares Cause 'Rolling' Radio Blackouts Across the Globe
An intense X2.3-class flare was released by the sun yesterday, followed by several M-class flares, which caused a series of radio blackouts around the world.
The Sun just unleashed a powerful solar flare that triggered radio blackouts on Earth
Solar flares are not directly responsible for the aurora borealis. The lights are caused by a phenomenon known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that erupt from an active sun spot. Combined with flares, they can create solar storms that interact with Earth’s magnetic field or magnetosphere.
