Valentine’s Day Solar Flare 02-14-2011

Many have asked what does a solar flare look like? Well above is a photo taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory February 14, 2011.

Looks like the new solar cycle is beginning to ramp up. The sun emitted its first X-class flare in more than four years ago.

X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms.

Its note worthy to state that even though this event looks strong in nature, in fact it appears to be rather weak and is not expected to produce any strong effects at Earth other than perhaps some beautiful aurora in the high northern and southern latitudes.
