The Sun has unleashed its strongest flare in four years, observers say.

So anyone seen anything yet?

A powerful solar eruption has disturbed radio communications and could disrupt electrical power grids, radio and satellite communication in the next days, NASA said.
A strong wave of charged particles emanating from the Jupiter-sized sun spot, the most powerful seen in four years, has already disrupted radio communication in southern China.

I was down in Cornwall for the full eclipse and we saw nothing as it was also cloudy. Still eerie when it all goes dark though.
