NASA?s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare ? seen as the bright flash on the left ? on May 14. A pair of powerful X-class flares from the Sun have caused radio blackouts this week. Huge X-class flares knocked out signals across southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, according to space.com. The first occurred Tuesday (13 May), while the strongest solar flare of the year - classified as an X2.7 event - erupted on the other side of the Sun the next day. NASA?s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured images of the events. Solar flares can cause coronal mass ejections (CME); explosions of plasma and magnetic field that can cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. However, it is thought the flares were not facing our planet.
