A massive solar flare escaped the Sun on June 14 and is now headed towards the Earth, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The US-based scientific and regulatory agency has raised an alert that the solar flare headed our way is likely to cause a powerful solar storm and lead to blackouts.

The phenomenon could put many parts of the world at a standstill. And it could be as early as Tuesday, according to NASA. There can be some disruptions for ship and air travelers as well.

While some scientists believe such celestial phenomena gave rise to life on Earth, the effects of such storms can be severe.

Yes, you only had WW2, Korean war and the Cold war, but what do kids worry about anyway, then again maybe the adults did

ain't you lucky? I would dearly love to be able to do the same!

I’m not sure solar flares are a modern phenomenon It would be nice if we get to see the northern lights. Not optimistic though

The heat has nothing to do with the solar flare.
The sun has an 11 year cycle of hot and cold periods, we are now in the hot cycle.
