In extreme cases, these storms can induce electrical currents and affect power infrastructure. The last significant geomagnetic storm of May 2024, which caused widespread auroras, had an impact on ...

Solar storms arise as a flux of charged particles flung from the Sun, which when they impact Earth can cause magnetic and electric fluctuations around the planet resulting in the formation of ...

Impact of solar storm from 12350BC could be much worse than what we knew Findings could be key for evaluating risks posed by future solar storms to modern infrastructure ...

A solar storm occurs when the sun emits abnormally high amounts of electromagnetic radiation. When these coronal emissions collide with the Earth's atmosphere, they disrupt the magnetic field and ...

In its closest-ever dive into the Sun’s atmosphere, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has returned stunning new images and data that ...

Major solar storms will one day interfere with our internet infrastructure, according to a research paper from a scientist at the University of California, Irvine. To reduce the risk of a long ...

Radio, internet and GPS fluctuations are likely in some parts of the world on Friday as a massive solar storm is predicted to hit the Earth, US forecasters say.

A geomagnetic storm expected today and tomorrow has been upgraded to G4 (severe) by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Geomagnetic storms wreaking havoc in our atmosphere last night and today may hamper efforts to aid recovery in the wake of Hurricane Milton and Helene. The "severe" G4 geomagnetic storm sparked ...

Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth’s surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.

Scientists have issued warnings about the potential impact of a solar storm, commonly referred to as an "internet apocalypse," which could strike within the next decade.

On March 13, 1989, a massive flow of solar plasma paralyzed Quebec. Within two minutes, the power grid collapsed due to underground electrical currents generated by the solar storm.
