solar flares
Stellar magnetic explosions
Solar flares are sudden, intense bursts of radiation from the sun's surface, caused by the release of magnetic energy.
They can disrupt radio communications, damage satellites, and—in extreme cases—affect power grids on Earth.
The most powerful flares send charged particles streaming toward Earth, producing auroras and geomagnetic storms: Scientists are monitoring solar flares that could interfere with GPS signals.
