NASA Warns of Potential Disruption from Solar Flares
NASA has issued a warning about strong solar flares that could affect communications in space and on Earth. The agency reported an X6.3 flare on February 22, 2024, which is classified as a significant event. Solar flares can cause temporary signal degradation or loss for high-frequency radios, and can interfere with radar and GPS. Astronauts are also at risk from solar flares due to the dangerous radiation they produce. While these flares are notable, they were not responsible for recent cellular network outages in the US.
