A Nasa telescope has captured the biggest solar flare in years, which temporarily knocked out radio communication on parts of Earth.

The sun spit out the huge flare on Thursday, resulting in two hours of radio interference in parts of the US and other sunlit parts of the world. Scientists said it was the biggest flare since 2017.
