The sun unleashes strongest solar flare in three years
by Virgilio Marin

(Natural News) The sun has uncorked its biggest solar flare in more than three years, erupting on Nov. 29 with an enormous release of plasma and a magnetic field called a coronal mass ejection.

SpaceWeather reported that the solar flare registered as an M4.4 on the scale used to measure solar storms. Solar flares, which are sudden, bright explosions of electromagnetic energy, are measured on a scale from one to nine, with larger numbers indicating stronger explosions. These solar storms are generally classified as small C-class, medium M-class or large X-class flares.

The M4.4 flare is considered to be of medium intensity and burst bright on Sunday with a coronal mass ejection, as seen in footage recorded from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. CMEs typically accompany solar flares and may cause disturbances on Earth, though astronomer Tony Phillips of SpaceWeather said this coronal mass ejection will not hit the planet.
