But if we're observing the visible light from the flares on earth, wouldn't that mean the other electromagnetic interference has also arrived? Or is the interference caused by heavier radiation particles? Actually curious - I assumed that satellite to ground transmissions would be light or radio-based and therefore not affected by heavy radiation, only EM (which travels at the speed of light)...
