After the Sun released an X1 solar flare this week, solar storms are heading back our way.

A major solar storm warning has been issued by space weather experts.

This time, the greatest threat from a solar storm will be radio blackouts, which have already disrupted radio frequencies.

The star in our solar system is currently in Solar Cycle 25.

As a result, increasing solar activity is expected in the future years, peaking around 2025

Solar storms, which produce solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and solar winds, are related with these solar phenomena.

The X1 flare originated in the so-called "NOAA/SWPC Region 3006" in the southern solar hemisphere, which contains a moderate amount of complicated sunspot groups.
