Sun Fires Off 2 Huge Solar Flares in One-Two Punch The sun unleashed two major X-class solar flares in about one hour on March 6, 2012. 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 NASA Reports That Solar Flares Could Disrupt Power, Communications NASA reports that two massive solar flares erupted from the Sun yesterday, each paired with a Coronal Mass Ejection. The two CMEs are heading towards Earth and are expected to hit in the wee hours of the morning on March 8.  The first CME is travelling towards Earth at speeds greater than 1300 miles per second, and the second is travelling at about 1100 miles per second. 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. 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. 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 flares may cause electronic mayhem Thursday 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. 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 could affect power grids on Earth NASA says the biggest solar storm since 2007 is sending charged particles toward Earth, where they could disrupt power grids and cause the rescheduling of airline flights.
