Fox News
The sun spit out the largest solar flare in more than a decade on Tuesday, though after a week of being pummeled by plasma, the Earth could be in the clear this time.
According to the post, a solar flare is an eruption of energy from the sun that generally lasts minutes to hours. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory caught the bright flash of the X-ray flare, which appeared to have a magnitude of X8.7, though it was originally reported as X8.8. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
