Solar flares are powerful bursts of harmful radiation, and it cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. But it can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel when intense enough. NASA's Solar Dynamics snapped The sun emitted a significant solar flare, peaking at 12:06 p.m. EDT on Sept. 10, 2017. This flare is classified as an X8.2-class flare. This flare is the capstone on a series of flares from Active Region 2673, which was identified on August 29 and is currently rotating off the front of the sun as part of our star's normal rotation.
