If you live at a high northern or southern latitude, watch for some spectacular lights in the sky Tuesday night.
The sun unleashed its strongest solar flare of the year Sunday, and the cloud of radiation it spewed will hit Earth's magnetic field Tuesday, NASA said.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a brief but intense flash signaling the ejection of a cloud of ultraviolet radiation.
The source of the flare, sunspot 1158, is growing rapidly, the observatory reported.

Hummm, The sun is spitting fire at us. I wonder why?
But but but... NASA said this was a quiet year for flares when they debunked the 2012 propros. Lawlz... Oh well. d if you do and d if you don't. I know one thing – ill be doing then what I'm doing now. Come what may.
Q: Is there a danger from giant solar storms predicted for 2012?
A: Solar activity has a regular cycle, with peaks approximately every 11 years. Near these activity peaks, solar flares can cause some interruption of satellite communications, although engineers are learning how to build electronics that are protected against most solar storms. But there is no special risk associated with 2012. The next solar maximum will occur in the 2012-2014 time frame and is predicted to be an average solar cycle, no different than previous cycles throughout history.
