   What is a solar flare?

   • (Image credit: NOAA SWPC) Solar flares are eruptions from the sun's surface that emit intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. They occur when magnetic energy accumulating in the solar atmosphere is subsequently released. Solar flares are categorized by size into lettered groups, with X-class being the most powerful.

   How long does a solar flare last?

   • The sun, proving that it wasn't done yet, also fired off a powerful X1.5 solar flare at 7:44 a.m. EDT (1144 GMT), NASA officials said. X-class flares are the strongest types of solar eruptions from the sun, and while flares can last anywhere from a few minutes to hours, to get these high magnitudes aren't as common.

   What happens if a solar flare erupts?

   • "Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy," NASA wrote in a statement on the flares. "Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts." According to the recent NOAA SWPC discussion, region 3664 has the potential to stay busy through Monday (May 13).

   May 11, 2024 · NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the two solar flares on May 10 and May 11, 2024. The flares are classified as X5.8 and X1.5-class flares, respectively. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares created from a mixture of SDO’s AIA 193, 171 and 131 channels.
