The sun produces enough energy in one hour to fuel all human activity for a year. Here’s how GE’s technology is helping solar power become a viable part of the world’s energy mix. Content by GE Reports. | CNN International

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such sp

😯👉On February 4, the Sun unleashed an intense X4.2 solar flare, captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Solar flares in the X-class category are the most powerful type, releasing enormous bursts of energy and radiation into space. This flare reached its peak at 7:13 a.m. Eastern Time and was carefully observed by researchers who track solar activity. Even though the radiation from flares like this cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to harm people on the ground, these eruptions can s
