As reported by the Daily Star Sunday (31/10/2021), the sun exploded the flare with the strongest speed which was categorized as an X10 class eruption.

It consists of a massive eruption of radiation from the Sun that sends out magnetically charged particles and flares that will reach Earth.
“Class X marks the most challenging eruption, while the numbers set explain its strength. The X2 class is twice as powerful as the X1, while the X3 is three times as strong. Eruptions categorized as X10 or above are considered very strong,” said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
According to a report from the United States Center for Outer Space Meteorology, the eruption caused temporary but strong radio interference, which crossed parts of South America in addition to harming satellites.
The Space Weather Prediction Center’s (SWPC) states that Sun storm massive mass is hurtling towards the earth at a speed of 970 kilometers per second. The solar storm that has occurred since yesterday until now is expected to disrupt a number of satellite navigation systems.
SWPC revealed that on October 28, 2021, the sun also emitted a flare of electrically charged particles and caused a strong geomagnetic storm. However, this new hurricane is categorized as G3 on a scale of 5 with an even larger payload.
“The impact on our technology from the G3 hurricane is generally only nominal. However, hurricane G3 has the potential to push the aurora further away from the ground stay normal, allows visibility far in the Northeast, into the upper Midwest and over Washington state,” said SWPC as quoted by Live Science, Sunday (31/10/2021).
