Overview

• The geomagnetic storm, reaching a G5 severity, marks one of the most intense solar disturbances in decades.
• Auroras, typically seen near the poles, dazzled observers across the U.S., Europe, and as far as China due to the storm's strength.
• NOAA and other weather agencies issued rare high-level geomagnetic storm watches, anticipating further auroral activity.
• Experts warn of possible disruptions to power grids and satellite communications due to the ongoing solar storm.
• Viewing conditions for the auroras remain favorable in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, with peak visibility near midnight.
