A solar flare disrupts aviation communications and radio signals...and NASA monitors it

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - <strong>NASA&#39;s</strong> Solar Energy Dynamics Observatory announced on Thursday the occurrence of a solar explosion considered the most powerful since 2017. This massive solar explosion was accompanied by the release of a coronal mass, which is a large explosion of solar plasma, according to what was reported on <strong>the &quot;Mashable&quot; website. &quot;</strong> . It is believed that the estimated speed of this coronal mass exceeds <strong>2,100 kilometers</strong> per second.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Although the Earth&#39;s atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation, this coronal ejection may cause magnetic storms on the Earth&#39;s surface, which may affect the Global Positioning System (GPS) and communications satellites. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="en" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Dec. 14, 2023, peaking at 12:02 ET.
