Severe Solar Storm in Progress!
Earth is currently being bombarded by a powerful G4-class geomagnetic storm, triggered by a high-velocity coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun. Traveling at over 4 million mph, this wave of solar plasma is disrupting Earth's magnetic field.
What to Expect:
Auroras (Northern Lights) visible as far south as Illinois, Oregon, and parts of Europe.
Possible disruptions to GPS, radio communication, satellites, and even power grids in rare cases.
Elevated radiation in high-altitude flights and near polar regions.
Space weather experts at NOAA and NASA are monitoring the storm closely, with more solar ejections expected through June 3.
If you're skywatching, this is a rare and beautiful event—but tech systems may need backup plans. Stay safe, and enjoy the view if you're in the right zone!
