A NASA video clip shows that these four explosions occurred at different locations on the solar surface, underscoring the vast area affected. Multiple flares erupting simultaneously are called “sympathetic solar flares,” triggered by several … Continue reading 2024 Solar Alert: Historic Quadruple Flare Event May Catalyze Stunning Auroras and Solar Storms
