a geomagnetic storm (commonly referred to as a solar storm) is a temporary disturbance of the earth’s magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field that interacts with the earth’s magnetic field. solar particle events: a solar particle event or solar proton...
The launch took place at 8:53 pm ET while Earth was in the crosshairs of a major Solar storm. This storm caused Aurora to be seen as far South as the launch site itself, an incredibly rare occurrence. Liftoff!pic.twitter.com/9N3E7FDYW7 — SpaceX (@SpaceX)May 13, 2024 In the past...

The month of May 2024 was characterized by solar energetic particles events directed towards the Earth, especially the big event causing a strong terrestrial geomagnetic storm during the night from 10 to 11 May 2024, with auroras observed everywhere in Europe. This was the strongest storm for the...
An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth produced stunning displays of color in the skies across the Northern Hemisphere, with no immediate reports of disruptions to power and communications.
The ICMEs induced extreme geomagnetic storms, peaking at a Dst index of −412 nT at 2 UT on 11 May 2024, marking the sixth-largest storm since 1957. The AE and AL indices showed extreme auroral extensions that located the AE/AL stations into the polar cap. We gathered auroral records ...
"This research proposes a new method to approach historical data, to provide a better picture of the chance of occurrence of super-storms and what super-storm activity we are likely to see in the future." This article was updated on May 10,...
