It was later upgraded to an "extreme" geomagnetic storm – the first since the "Halloween Storms" of October 2003 caused blackouts in Sweden and damaged power infrastructure in South Africa. More CMEs are expected to pummel...
On May 10, 2024, one of the most massive solar storms in decades (and the strongest aurora display in centuries) crashed into Earth, making the northern lights not so northern—for a few nights, at least. “We’ll be studying this event for years,” NASA’s Acting Director of the ...

"That light is what we see in the form of the aurora," he said. The stronger the solar storm, the father south the northern lights can be seen. NOAA ranks geomagnetic storms on afive-point scale, with those rated G5, the strongest, being capable of widespread voltage control problems ...
A coronal aurora appears over southwestern British Columbia on May 10, 2024.NASA/Mara Johnson-Groh This week has seen one of the most dramatic solar storms in decades, leading toviews of auroras seen around the worldas charged particles from the sun interacted with Earth’s atmosphere. But the...
Until now, fluctuations in past atmospheric 14C levels have limited the dating precision possible using radiocarbon. However, the discovery of solar super-storms known as extreme solar particle events (ESPEs) has driven a series of advances with the potential to transform the calendar-age precision...
storm warning was in effect until 2 a.m. ET. While stronger storms are no longer likely and conditions are expected to “gradually wane” throughout the day, the center said in its forecast that moderate to strong geomagnetic storms are “likely” on May 13, as are minor storms on May ...
More powerful solar storms can be expected in the coming months as the peak of the current solar cycle — the 11-year ebb and flow in the number of sunspots, solar flares and eruptions — is expected in late 2024 and early 2025. The paper was accepted for publication in the journal of...
Yet, the peak of this cycle should occur between November 2024 and March 2026. Apart from the inaccuracies affecting GPS systems in tractors, no other major disturbances have been reported. We now know that the frequency and severity of solar storms increase every eleven years and have the ...
Such storms can interrupt radio communications and even damage power grids, which is why the UK has been pushing its partners in the European Space Agency to build a new satellite to give earlier warnings. 这让天空中的色彩看上去十分壮观,但后果可能比想象的更严重。这种规模的太阳风暴可能会中断...
