Recent Solar Storms Illuminate Skies and Advance NASA's Research

One of the strongest solar storms in decades provided stunning auroras and crucial data for future space weather predictions.

The solar storm began on May 7, with the most powerful flare occurring on May 14.
Auroras were visible at unusually low latitudes, including the southern U.S. and northern India.
NASA is collecting aurora photographs from the public to enhance scientific understanding.
The storm reached a G5 rating, the highest since 2003, but caused minimal damage.
Future missions will further study solar storms' impacts on Earth's atmosphere and infrastructure.
