The sun unleashed a powerful X-class solar flare on Friday , peaking at 8:10 a.m. and triggering shortwave radio blackouts across South America, Africa and the Southern Atlantic.
The monstrous solar flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection — a large release of plasma and magnetic field from the sun. Due to the location of the sunspot so far south, it is unlikely that any CME from sunspot AR3576 will strike Earth directly; it is more likely to pass straight under us.
