Massive Solar Flares Disrupt Global Communications, Trigger Blackouts Across Multiple Continents

A powerful series of solar flares erupting from the Sun’s surface over the past 48 hours is causing significant disruptions to global radio frequencies, satellite communications, and even power grids, according to space weather experts. The unusually intense geomagnetic storm, driven by at least five Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs), marks the most severe solar event in over two decades, prompting widespread alerts from NASA, NOAA, and global space weather agencies.

The solar flares—classified as X-class, the most extreme level—unleash intense bursts of radiation and plasma that interact with Earth’s magnetic field. These solar. . .
