7 Big Flares Means No Sleepy Sun Yet: Solar Storm Forecast 04-06-2017
The Sun pranks us but good for April Fools this year with 7 M-class flares all in the span of 48 hours. It also launched a few solar storms, though none of them were Earth-directed. See when the fireworks started, how it has affected Earth, and what else is in store this week.
