A powerful solar flare erupted from the sun on Tuesday, prompting warnings from NASA about potential blackouts and communication disruptions.
The solar flare, classified as an X1.2 flare, one of the most severe types, exploded from the sun's Earth-facing side at around 6pm ET.
'X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about their strength,' NASA shared in a release.
The eruption unleashed a burst of ionizing radiation, magnetic energy and heat capable of interfering with technology on Earth.
Dr Tamitha Skov, an independent space weather physicist, said the flare's impact was strongest in the western hemisphere, affecting areas including the US West Coast, Alaska, eastern Russia, the Asia-Pacific region and potentially New Zealand.
