Solar flares are extremely intense energy blasts. Solar flares and eruptions can disrupt radio communications, power grids, and navigation signals, as well as endangering spacecraft and astronauts.

This flare falls into the X-class category. The X-class flares are the most intense, while the number indicates how strong they are.
