X-flare Causes Radio Blackout, CME Misses Earth

Space Weather News for April 25, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

X-FLARE: On April 25th, an active region near the sun's western limb erupted, producing an impulsive X-class solar flare.  A pulse of extreme UV radiation from the flare ionized Earth's upper atmosphere and caused a shortwave radio blackout on the dayside of Earth.   However, a CME hurled into space by the explosion will miss our planet.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.

SOLAR FLARE ALERTS:  Would you like a call the next time the sun erupts? X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
