Main Idea of Article: The sun erupts explosions.

After a month of no sun activity, the sun has a storm again. The storm has the potential to disrupt some communications and satellite systems and to bring auroras to high-latitude skies. The high-latitude solar flare was measured as M8.7 in intensity, below the most intense “X class” of flares. Flare was accompanied by a cloud of solar plasma that was ejected from the solar atmosphere into the direction of Earth. I think that the solar plasma is very dangerous for us, and for our health. It will probably send some radiation to our atmosphere. I hope that nothing extreme will happen to our planet.
