NASA has announced that the Sun has released a powerful solar flare, classified as an X2.3 event. This type of flare falls into the highest category of solar flares—known as ‘X-class’—which represent the most intense bursts of radiation and light from the Sun. According to NASA, solar flares are the most powerful explosions in our solar system, with the largest capable of releasing as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs. via: @nasa #technology #space #scary #sun #telescope | Technology IG
