“NASA’s mission is to study flares to help us better prepare for and mitigate their impact,” the post added.
Solar flares can also be dangerous if directed at Earth.
Strong flares can sometimes impact radio communications, navigation systems, power grids, etc. They can also pose a risk to spacecraft and astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), the space agency added.
Solar flares belong to a different class. The class X is the most powerful storm on the sun. Class A solar flares are the weakest; Class B and C hurricanes are also minor. When directed directly at Earth, more intense upward M-class storms can supercharge the northern lights, while the strongest X-class storms can pose a threat to satellites and astronauts in orbit.
