The sun fires off 2 powerful X flares in less than 2 hours

This morning, August 5, the sun emitted two powerful X-class solar flares. The first flare, an X1.7, originated from sunspot AR3767 and peaked at 9:40 a.m. EDT (1340 GMT).

Less than two hours later, sunspot AR3780 released an X1.1 flare, peaking at 11:27 a.m. EDT (1527 GMT).

X-class flares are the strongest type of solar flares and are often accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can trigger geomagnetic storms upon reaching Earth, Space.com has reported.
