2023年11月8日 · The solar cycle is peaking making solar storms more plentiful. Tree rings and ice cores are evidence of much larger super storms in the past. About 14,000 years ago, a solar flare, possibly hundreds of times stronger than the Carrington flare, impacted Earth. NOAA forecast the current solar cycle to ramp up and peak in 2024.

The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm[1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.

2024年4月26日 · Powerful outbursts from the sun—like this bright, flashing solar flare and the adjacent eruption of hot glowing gas—can wreak havoc with Earth's power grids, computers and telecommunications ...

2024年11月27日 · One of the most intense geomagnetic storms of recent times occurred on 10–11 May 2024. With a peak negative excursion of Sym-H below −500 nT, this storm is the second largest of the space era. Solar wind energy transferred through radiation and mass coupling affected the entire Geospace.

2024年5月10日 · The biggest geomagnetic storm in recorded history happened more than 150 years ago. Now, we’re entering yet another period of solar maximum.

2023年11月14日 · The sun is beginning to enter a more active time for flares that cause solar storms that can impact the Earth. As Earth enters this new phase, experts have been discussing how these solar storms could affect modern advancements on the planet and even lead to what a team from George Mason University called an “internet apocalypse.”

2024年5月16日 · During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.

2020年11月30日 · Solar storms disproportionately affect low-Earth orbit satellites, which live within the first 375 miles of space above Earth’s surface, which can be enveloped by a swelling atmosphere. The vast majority of new satellites call this region home, including the quickly growing constellations of communications satellites launched by private ...

2024年3月25日 · Earth just experienced the strongest solar storm since September 2017. It opened a crack in our planet's magnetosphere but failed to spark impressive auroras.

2024年5月10日 · Planet Earth is getting rocked by the biggest solar storm in decades – and the potential effects have those people in charge of power grids, communications systems and satellites on edge.
