The sun has been snapped emitting three powerful blasts of radiation in recent days, causing some disruptions in the Earth’s atmosphere. If strong enough, these solar events can interrupt GPS and communications signals around the world.
Solar flares are brief eruptions of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface. However, fear not, as “harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground,” NASA says.
