Space enthusiasts have been put on alert after Nasa<\/a> released a stunning image of solar flares<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

NASA officials observed three strong solar flares emanating from the sun<\/a> on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

According to officials<\/a>, the first solar flare event peaked on June 2 at 9:36 p.m. EST, followed by a second flare that peaked on June 3 at 3 a.m. EST and the last one that peaked at 7:28 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n

The third flare was classified as an X1.0, which is the most powerful category of solar flares.<\/p>\n

What Is A Solar Flare?<\/a><\/p>\n

During the trio eruptions, there were reports of multiple radio blackouts that occurred across Earth.<\/p>\n

This comes as part of a solar storm, an explosion of particles, energy<\/a>, magnetic fields and material blasted into the solar system by the sun.<\/p>\n

An image shared by NASA showed small pockets of the sun seemingly bursting into much brighter light, followed by hovering magnetic waves of energy.<\/p>\n

Solar storms occur when the sun creates an entangled mess of magnetic fields, similar to a messy head of hair after a long night of sleep.<\/p>\n

Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy that can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals and pose a risk to spacecraft<\/a> and astronauts, according to NASA.<\/p>\n

Despite this, they do not cause direct harm to anyone on Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The strongest solar event on record occurred on Sept. 1, 1859, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> (NOAA).<\/p>\n

Officials say that due to the solar flares, a strong geomagnetic storm could occur. Forecasters have issued a storm watch from June 4 to 6, expecting that geomagnetic activity could reach G1-G3 storm levels.<\/p>\n
