Solar flares erupted 21-22 Feb. Seen here from GOES-16; an R3 flare in the NE, followed by an R1 from beyond the SE limb, and another R3 event from the NE again.
The March 1989 geomagnetic storm knocked out power across large sections of Quebec, while the 2003 Halloween solar storms registered the most powerful solar explosions ever recorded. On 23 July 2012, a "Carrington-class" solar superstorm (solar flare, CME, solar electromagnetic pulse) was observed, but its trajectory narrowly missed Earth.
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. ... knock out satellites and in some cases disrupt internet connectivity. The solar storm ...
A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
Dahl said the NOAA won't know the intensity of the coronal mass ejections until they arrive at a pair of satellites about 1 million miles from Earth that monitor solar wind.
The Halloween solar storms were a series of solar storms involving solar flares and coronal mass ejections that occurred from mid-October to early November 2003, peaking around October 28–29. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This series of storms generated the largest solar flare ever recorded by the GOES system, modeled as strong as X45 (initially ...

Type III bursts are associated with electrons beams that are accelerated to small fractions of light speed (0.1 to 0.3 c) by magnetic reconnection, the process responsible for solar flares. In the image below, the chain of color contours show the locations of three Type III bursts at different frequencies.
