June 7: This image provided by NASA shows the Sun unleashing a medium-sized solar flare, a minor radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection. A UN plan to upgrade "space weather" forecasts can help the world cope with solar storms that
The blast was rated a (moderate) M-2 flare, but only a (minor) S-1 class radiation storm. The solar particles and magnetic waves hurled across the solar system by the blast – called a coronal mass ejection – are expected
