  Solar flares classified as X, the strongest, continue to erupt this week. The strong solar activity is similar to how the first of last week started. This led to a week of massive solar flares and geomagnetic storms, ending with a weekend of celestial awe when the northern lights could be viewed as far south as Texas.
  
  According to NASA, the latest X solar flare was at 12:51 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 14, and one earlier at 8:55 a.m.. Tuesday's two X-classified solar flares followed Monday's peak eruption at 10:55 p.m.
