A gigantic solar flare has erupted from the Sun and might cause radio blackouts in several parts of the world today. The radiation burst emanating from the sunspot AR3058 was unleashed on July 14. It is an M-class flare (the second most powerful) and GPS users have been asked to stay vigilant during dawn and dusk. Northern lights might also be caused.
