RussiaM6.86 solar flare causes radio blackout and CMEs
A powerful M6.86 solar flare has caused a radio blackout and sent coronal mass ejections (CMEs) towards Earth, increasing the risk of geomagnetic unrest in the coming days.
Background
Solar flares are sudden bursts of radiation from the Sun's surface, often accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field. These events can impact Earth's magnetic field, potentially disrupting radio communications, GPS, and power grids.
