A massive double-barrelled sunspot that has doubled in size in the past few days could now send a series of solar flares towards Earth, which, according to SpaceWeather.com, could send out ‘beta-gamma’ magnetic energy in what is known as an M-class flare.
Though M-class flares aren’t nearly as dangerous as X-class flares, which affect satellites and electrical grids as well as lasting radiation storms, people could still notice minor inconveniences such as radio disturbances.
M-class flares can also cause the aurora borealis to erupt in dazzling light shows.
