Sun Sends Solar Flares Speeding Toward Earth; Will Hit Thursday [VIDEO] The sun ejected two huge solar flares Tuesday, and NASA says that we here on Earth will likely be affected somewhat by the magnetic fields and ionized gas that are now shooting toward the planet. But the phenomena might also bring aurora light shows to residents of the northern United States Sun Fires Off 2 Huge Solar Flares in One-Two Punch The sun unleashed a cosmic double whammy Tuesday (March 6), erupting with two major flares to cap a busy day of powerful solar storms. One of the flares is the most powerful solar eruption of the year, so far. Solar Flares Unleashed By Sun On March 6 Include Strongest This Year (VIDEO) The sun unleashed a cosmic double whammy Tuesday (March 6), erupting with two major flares to cap a busy day of powerful solar storms. One of the flares is the most powerful solar eruption of the year, so far. Boulder scientists monitoring solar flares headed to Earth A pair of massive solar flares that erupted from the sun's surface Tuesday at about 5 p.m. Colorado time are expected to slam into the Earth early Thursday morning, possibly affecting communications and power, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder. NASA SDO: Sun releases 2 major solar flares, one of them the most powerful solar storm this year (Video) The sun released two major solar flares on Tuesday, March 6, 2012, as shown in the video below, taken by NASA's SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory), which one of them noted to be the most powerful solar storm this year. Sun, releasing a X5.4-class solar flare Image Credit: NASA SDO video As noted at Space.com that [...] Solar storm heads for Earth U.S. politics had its "Super Tuesday" yesterday, and so did the sun, says Joseph Kunches from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colo. That's because the sun had two solar flares associated with two coronal mass ejections. Coronal mass ejections involve massive amounts of energy and charged particles shooting out of the sun, and can cause problems if directed at Earth, as was the ... Solar flares may cause electronic mayhem WASHINGTON (AP) — The largest solar flare in five years is racing toward Earth, threatening to unleash a torrent of charged particles that could disrupt power grids, GPS and airplane flights. Boulder space weather forecasters tracking 2 massive solar flares A pair of massive solar flares that erupted from the sun's surface Tuesday at about 5 p.m. Colorado time are expected to slam into the Earth early Thursday morning, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder. Sun belches wonking solar flare Get out your tinfoil hats Sol is having a bit of fusion indigestion again and has belched forth one of the largest solar flares to come hurtling towards Earth in the past five years, according to NASA.… Sun fires off 2 huge solar flares, could impact weather on Earth A giant blast of plasma spat from the sun at as much as 4 million miles per hour Tuesday -- by some measures the largest solar event since late 2006 -- and it could lead to serious issues on Earth, forcing some planes to reroute, knocking out power grids, and blacking out radios.
