Quick.... Run Away!!
Apparently the sun had just poooped, and let rip with a huge flare - the most powerful flare ever recorded! Click here to see the article, but here is a summary:
"Tuesday's flare went off the scale; researchers say it was "well above X20". A precise description is difficult because some monitoring satellites were briefly blinded the scale of the event.
Even so, experts say the Tuesday event must have been the most powerful ever recorded, surpassing the X20 flares of 2 April 2001 and 16 August 1989."
