Sun Erupts with Powerful Solar Flare, Sending Plasma Toward Earth

The Sun unleashed an M5.7-class Solar Flare on May 10, 2026, disrupting high-frequency radio communications and launching a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Scientists predict the incoming plasma could trigger a minor geomagnetic storm and brighten auroras across northern regions. The event highlights the Sun’s increasing activity as it approaches the peak of its 11-year solar cycle this year.
