A sunspot appeared on the star's face after at least eight solar flares on Wednesday.
The radio went out over the Atlantic Ocean at 9:42 a.m. due to a solar flare. There is a new tab on SpaceWeather.com.
A solar flare is a burst of radiation that travels at a fast pace. Within eight minutes, those directed at Earth reach our planet.
Most of Wednesday's observed flares were described in the M class, which is the next level down.
Space weather could have saved the Starlink satellites.
Some physicists commented on the light show on social media.
More M Flares: An M6, M3 and M2 all from the same location. The time is 1730GMT. So far today, 8 M flares have been made, and they seem to be getting bigger. Don't be surprised."
There is a sunspot on the sun's visible disk. Sunspots are darker and cooler in the lowest layer of the sun's atmosphere. Flares occur when the magnetic lines burst.
coronal mass ejections can take up to three days to reach Earth after a solar flare.
Our technology dependent world is more disrupted by CMEs when they interact with it. These storms can cause power failures and even cause satellites to fall.
There has been no indication from space weather forecasters that any of the recent solar flares were capable of hitting our planet.
The U.K. space weather forecaster predicts that there will be low levels of solar activity in the next few days.
