September was 🔥 on the Sun! It released 31 sizable solar flares and several coronal mass ejections in just 5 days. We and our partners are always watching the Sun, so we saw these events from several perspectives. Thread 👇 First things first: A solar flare is powerful burst of light radiation, and intense flares can interfere with communications.
