Global Auroras Sparked by Intense Solar Storm
Rare celestial displays visible worldwide due to a series of powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
- Auroras, typically seen near the poles, observed as far south as Indiana and California following recent solar activity.
- NOAA reports upcoming intensification of geomagnetic storm, potentially affecting communication and power systems.
- Meteorologists and astronomers note this phenomenon coincides with a peak in the sun's 11-year activity cycle.
- Viewers in the UK and parts of the US report extraordinary sightings; experts advise optimal viewing conditions.
- Technological disruptions, while rare, include potential GPS and radio communication issues during peak solar storm periods.
