The recent “extreme” solar storm, caused by several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun, triggered spectacular auroras visible across the globe. These auroras, commonly known as the northern and southern lights, occur when solar particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field, producing colorful displays in the sky. The storm reached level five geomagnetic conditions—the highest on the scale—and was the first of its kind since 2003. Despite initial concerns, there were no major disruptions to power or communication networks, although there were reports of minor irregularities. The event sparked excitement worldwide, with people witnessing the phenomenon from various locations, capturing stunning photos of the night sky. While solar storms can pose risks to technology and even affect wildlife, this recent event served as a reminder of the Sun’s dynamic nature and its impact on Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field.
