Watch sunspot region 4114 erupt with its most powerful solar flare yet. The X1.9 class flare triggered radio blackouts across the Pacific Ocean.

Another X-class solar flare triggers US communication blackouts as the sun continues to emit intense solar flares during the solar maximum.

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.

Watch a powerful X1.2 solar flare erupt from the sun, causing radio blackouts over Hawaii. More flares from unstable sunspot 4114 may follow.

NASA captured an image of the sun emitting a powerful solar flare that could interfere with technology on Earth.
