SUN

The strongest solar flare seen in five years erupted from the Sun on early Tuesday, and is heading towards the Earth which could cause radio, satellite interference and auroral displays on Thursday.

New Yorkers may or may not get to see the Northern Lights in the Big Apple's skies tonight or tomorrow night, but the solar flare that is increasing auroral activity has already produced some breathtaking images, as this video shows.

The biggest solar flare in four years erupted from the sun on Tuesday and is heading towards Earth in an event that could disrupt power grids and satellites.

Because the Sun experienced the biggest solar flare in four years yesterday, New Yorkers may get to see the Northern Lights tonight or, possibly, tomorrow night.

A solar flare that erupted on Tuesday in the Sun is heading towards the Earth and could disrupt power grids and satellites. The flare, which is backed by a small radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME), might stimulate auroras on Thursday.

High-latitude sky watchers should be on alert for auroras on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, when coronal mass ejection (CME) from solar flare observed on Tuesday glance at Earth's magnetic field, NASA said in a statement.

The sun unleashed an unusual solar flare on early Tuesday, a small radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME) from a sunspot complex on the solar surface. The flare peaked at 1:41 a.m. ET, according to NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
