'Newsweek' reports that a solar storm, caused by an
X-class solar flare that took place on New Year's Eve,
was expected to impact Earth on January 2.
.
Experts warned that the resulting solar storm
could start disrupting radio signals and cause
bright auroras on that date.

but last less than a day.

A solar flare is an ejection of electromagnetic
radiation, usually in the form of X-rays.
.
Typically, solar flares are emitted from sunspots on
the surface of the sun and occur when magnetic fields
in those sunspots become reorganized or entangled.
The weakest are the A-class flares,
followed in intensity by the B-class,
C-class, M-class—these are
moderate—and the X-class, Gonzalo José Carracedo Carballal, astrophysics researcher
at Madrid's Instituto Nacional de Técnica, via 'Newsweek'.
According to Jesse Woodroffe, a program scientist in the
Heliophysics Division at NASA headquarters, solar flares are, "around a million times
stronger than a nuclear bomb.".
However, 'Newsweek' reports that a nuclear explosion takes
place in a highly localized position of time and space, while the energy emitted by solar flares spreads across a vast distance.
The X-class event on December 31 was the most
powerful on record since the beginning of the
current solar cycle, which started in December of 2019

According to U.S. News, cities are
ranked according to four indexes: , the Quality of Life Index, Value Index,
Job Market Index and Desirability Index.
Meanwhile, another Southwest Florida city, Fort Meyers, ranked
as the number one "Fastest Growing Places" list for the U.S.,
along with three other Florida cities ranking among the top 5.

ABC reports that an asteroid
is set to make a close pass
by Earth this weekend.
Asteroid 2024 MK should
be visible with the proper
equipment and timing. .

be visible with the proper
equipment and timing. .
The space rock will make its closest approach past
Earth early on June 29, passing at just three-quarters
of the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
The asteroid, which was first spotted two
weeks ago by an observatory in South Africa,
is estimated to be about 393 feet to 853 feet wide.
According to asteroid expert Davide Farnocchia,
who works for NASA's Center for Near-Earth
Object Studies, asteroids the size of 2024 MK
only pass by about every 25 years.
We’re going to see a few
of those during our lifetimes,
but it’s not something that
happens every other day, Davide Farnocchia, NASA Center for
Near-Earth Object Studies, via ABC.
On June 27, a 7,579-foot asteroid just passed
the Earth at a slightly greater distance and
was only visible with professional telescopes.
The upcoming 2024 MK will be visible
with a small telescope but will not
be visible to the naked eye. .
ABC reports that skywatchers in
the Southern Hemisphere will have
the best odds of spotting the asteroid.
The next major asteroid is set for April 13, 2029,
when Apophis will pass Earth and be visible with
the naked eye to viewers in Europe, Africa and Asia.
