SIGNS IN THE SUN: The sun just erupted with its most powerful solar flare in 6 YEARS - and it could spark geomagnetic storms and huge power outages on Earth, scientists warn

Earth will soon be hit by the biggest solar flare in six years - and it could spark massive power outages. 

An enormous class X flare, the biggest our Sun is capable of, erupted on the Sun yesterday afternoon. 

The bombardment of radiation has already caused temporary radio blackouts across South America. 

But the danger isn't over, as the Met Office predicts Earth will be hit by a massive solar storm from December 17.

Luckily, the flare was not directly facing Earth so we will likely only receive a glancing blow

At 17:00 GMT yesterday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted a huge amount of activity in the Sun's northern hemisphere. 

Observations revealed the moment that a class X2.8 solar flare burst from the Sun's surface.

Solar flares are ranked on a scale from A to X, with A being the least powerful and X being the most. 

These classes are then subdivided by numbers, with an X2 being twice as powerful as an X1.  

Yesterday's activity was the strongest since the huge X8.2 flare of September 2017.

Solar flares happen when the Sun's powerful magnetic fields are twisted and tangled together by currents of super-heated gas.

This is especially common in 'sunspots', cooler areas of the Sun's surface where the magnetic fields are particularly intense. 

When the energy stored in these twisted fields is suddenly released, vast amounts of material is very quickly heated to millions of degrees.

It is this blast of energy which can interfere with radio communications on Earth.

Dr Alexi Glover, space weather service coordinator for the European Space Agency, told MailOnline: 'Yesterday’s solar flare is the largest of the solar cycle so far and also the largest we have seen since 2017.

'We are still analysing the event, but early reports are indicating that this did impact radio communications for a short period on 14th.'

Yesterday's flare has already caused moderate radio blackouts in South America, with a partial or complete loss of signal for two hours.

At the same time, there was also a huge coronal mass ejection (CME) which sent billions of tons of plasma and magnetic energy hurtling out into the solar system. 

Unlike flares, CMEs are slow and are caused by gas bubbles threaded with magnetic fields which erupt over the course of hours.

When the solar particles hit the Earth's magnetic field they interact, and produce electrical currents.

These geomagnetic storms flow through power grids and can even trigger massive power outages. 

The particles ejected by CMEs also trigger changes in the environment of Earth's low orbit that can affect the drag on spacecraft meaning satellites may need to adjust their orbit.
