Backyard astronomer DudeLovesSpace has captured a video of a solar flare recorded in March 2026 from an active sunspot region named AR4392 that erupted in a flare of radiation. The video was captured using ground-based radio instruments that converted some wavelengths in radio light into an audio signal. The Sun has been less active in recent months as it moves away from the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, which peaks are characterized by an escalation in sunspot activity, accompanied by solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which often occur together. Sunspots are found near sunspots where local magnetic fields are stronger and are a good proxy for tracking solar cycle activity. However, scientists predict that the sound of the Sun could be constant at around 100 decibels, which could disrupt communications on Earth.
