X-flares possible on Jan 26-27

According to the forecast from the Institute of Applied Geophysics, solar flares of class X—the second strongest by power—may occur on January 26 and 27. Such events can cause strong geomagnetic disturbances, including impacts on satellites, radio communications, and Earth's power systems. Solar flares of class X are classified as the most powerful emissions capable of causing noticeable effects on global technological systems.

Context

Solar flares are classified by their intensity, and their impact on Earth results from the interaction of the solar wind with the planet's magnetic field.
