The sun unleashed a rare X2.7-class flare that caused strong radio blackouts across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Sunspot region AR4087 is now turning to face Earth and could fire off even bigger flares that might trigger bright auroras and geomagnetic storms.
hmm [I did think the sun looked busier than usual](https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/1kjoktp/comment/mrw6jex/) a couple of days ago
We’ve only had radio and digital communication for less than 200 years, which is nothing astronomically speaking. Is it possible that disturbances like this could get more frequent and intense in some periods? Or are we pretty safe about the stability of the sun?
