Happy Wednesday space fans!
The sun recently unleashed two colossal X-class solar flares, knocking out radio signals across the Americas and Pacific. For skywatchers, keep your eyes peeled as we might get some interesting auroral activity from these eruptions. 

Other stories for today include President Trump nominating Jared Isaacman to head NASA...again, the James Webb Space Telescope sees an ancient supermassive black hole nicknamed 'BiRD' and an astronomer catches two meteors slamming into the moon. 

We have all that and more for your daily read.
