One year ago today, the Sun served up the biggest geomagnetic storm in two decades! In May 2024, a back-to-back chain of solar eruptions hit Earth, pushing auroras as far south as Mexico. This new visualization uses NASA data to reveal the storm’s powerful impact on our planet’s magnetic field.

🌞 📰 Solar superstorm is ongoing. More auroras tonight? 😱 WOW! Last night, there was an auroral explosion across the globe. The anticipated geomagnetic storm reached levels much higher than expected. But if you missed it, there’s a good chance for more tonight. 🤩 Overnight, the level of geomagnetic activity climbed to a G5 (extreme) storm. A series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) arrived a bit earlier than anticipated, reaching us late yesterday, May 10. It appears that one or more CMEs over

What actually happens when the Sun sends a powerful storm our way? ☀️ When the Sun erupts, it can release an intense solar flare followed by a fast-moving cloud of energised gas called a coronal mass ejection. Travelling at thousands of kilometres per second, these eruptions can disturb Earth’s magnetic field, accelerate energetic particles and trigger geomagnetic storms. On the ground, that can mean temporary radio interference, navigation issues and dazzling auroras. Thanks to our atmosphere a

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Nov. 30, 2025, peaking at 9:49 p.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9 class: go.nasa.gov/4alXf6P Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such sp
