Solar Flare


A huge sunspot known as AR1654 produced an M1-class solar flare, which is heading towards the Earth. The sun is in an active phase of its current 11-year weather cycle, which scientists call Solar Cycle 24. The sun's activity cycle is expected to reach its peak (or "solar maximum") in 2013.
