Saint Cloud, Jul16 :Massive solar flares have contributed to a spectacular light show in the skies above Saint Cloud in central Minnesota, US.

A huge solar flare erupted from the sun on Thursday, streaming radiation towards Earth.

The storm is part of the sun's normal 11-year cycle, which is supposed to reach a peak next year.
