The strongest solar push of 2025 bursts from the sun, triggering radio breakdowns through Europe, Asia and the Middle East (video)

The sun broke out for life Tuesday, May 14, releasing a powerful class X solar push from a newly emerging Sun Spot region AR4087.

The eruption culminated at 4 h 25 Hae (0825 GMT), triggering solids of solid R3 level R3 across Europe, Asia and the Middle East – the sunny side of the Earth at the time – while the SunSpot region 2087 cracked with activity.

Solar eruptions of this magnitude are rare, according to the Météorological Prediction center of the Noaa space (SWPC). Solar lighting rockets are classified by force in five classes: A, B, C, M and X, each step representing a ten -time increase in energy. The recent escape X recorded at X2.7, placing it at the lower end of the most powerful Solar Flare class.

The eruption sent an explosion of X -ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation rushing to the earth at the speed of light, quickly ionizing the upper atmosphere. This sudden change has disrupted high frequency radio signals, leading to communication dropouts for certain radio operators in the affected regions.

There may have been an associated coronal mass ejection (CME) – massive plumes of solar plasma and magnetic field accompanying the X -Flare, although it is not yet confirmed. The CMEs can trigger geomagnetic storms and vibrant dawn if they collide with the magnetic field of the earth. But with AR4087 still near the edge of the sun, our planet is out of the line of fire. For the moment.

This could change as soon as the AR4087 turns to the ground and has already pulled several solar pushes.
