The sleeping giant seems to have awoken. Although the Sun is in a solar maximum, it has been relatively quiet - that is until recently. The Sun has released three solar flares in the last three days. The latest flare was an X-class flare, which is the most intense flare the sun releases. Be prepared for some solar storms on the 30th of October since the latest flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME). At the very least this CME will cause some beautiful auroras and at the most extreme ends can disrupt our satellites and power grids.
