“The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on June 3, peaking at 7:28 a.m. ET,” NASA, the federal body constantly watching the sun through its Solar Dynamics Observatory, said. The observatory captured an image of the event now released to the public.

Skywatchers across the northern United States and southern Canada who assumed the aurora show was over after this week’s strong geomagnetic storm may get one more chance tonight. A residual cloud of solar material,

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare that peaked at 7:28 a.m. ET on June 3. The flare was classified as an X1.0, with X-class indicating the most intense flares and the number specifying its strength, according to an announcement from NASA.

Scientists studying 50 years of solar data warn Earth may be entering a heightened risk period for rare “superflares” capable of disrupting technology worldwide.

Scientists spotted patterns hours before a major solar flare, a discovery that could help forecast dangerous eruptions.

A solar radio burst clung to the Sun for 19 days, smashing all records. Scientists traced it to a magnetic trap fed by three eruptions.
