There is more in store as the sunspot has released more solar material. Sun has blasted an X flare towards Earth once again. The eruption reached us and disrupted communications systems. Sunspot ...

On Feb. 17, a solar flare exploded from a sunspot near the sun's south pole, releasing a gigantic column of plasma that towered around 124,000 miles (200,000 km) above the solar surface.

Unlike the quadruple solar flare in April, these flares were not sympathetic. Instead, a single hyperactive sunspot fired off the massive flares one by one in less than 24 hours.
