I have a science question.

[NOW tense]

Is there a light spectrum that we don't usually see in solar flares? Or can a high amount of X-rays and UV radiation effect the ionosphere to bend light differently?

but...

Magnetic Field
A Solar Flare Effect

magnetic crochet arises from the increased ionisation in the D and E layers of the ionosphere caused by the massive increase in X-ray radiation generated by the solar flare.
