Earth Braces for Powerful Geomagnetic Storms from Solar Eruptions

A series of coronal mass ejections from the Sun could disrupt power grids and communications while creating spectacular auroras.

NASA and NOAA warn of three consecutive solar storms hitting Earth on August 9, 10, and 11.
The third storm, driven by an X1.3-class solar flare, is expected to be the most intense.
Potential impacts include disruptions to GPS, radio communications, and power systems.
Mid-latitude auroras may be visible in the USA and Europe, coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower.
Scientists have made advances in predicting solar storms, offering better preparedness for such events.
