If your high-frequency radio isn’t working right now, blame the sun. An active part of the sun, NOAA region 1520, flared mid-day today, triggering a radio outage in the red region. NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center is investigating whether a significant explosion from the sun’s outer atmosphere – a coronal mass ejection – was associated with the flare. If so, further impacts are possible: such space weather can affect the power grid, navigation systems, airline communications and more.
