Urgent warning over solar storms that could cripple internet for WEEKS

The solar maximum has officially arrived, bringing increased solar activity and potential disruptions to communications, but also enhanced aurora viewing opportunities.

The sun is at its 11-year maximum. That means another year of eruptions that can endanger satellites, ground flights, and spark stunning auroras.

The sun is currently in its maximum phase, leading to increased solar activity and beautiful auroras, but also potential disruptions to technology on Earth.

What's behind the northern lights that dazzled the sky farther south than normal

Strong solar storms are currently producing stunning auroras in areas farther south than normal, with potential for similar events again soon.

This Timelapse of the Northern Lights Taken From Space Is Utterly Breathtaking

Astronaut Matthew Dominick captured breathtaking auroras in a timelapse video from SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, revealing nature's beauty from space.

Spectacular stars over Stonehenge and more - August's best science images

The Northern Lights are expected to become more frequent due to solar storm activity linked to the Sun's 11-year cycle.

Severe Solar Storm Creates Stunning Auroras During Meteor Shower

Geomagnetic storms can disrupt technology but often create beautiful auroras during events like the recent G4 storm.

The Auroras Should Be Spectacular This Summer, Thanks to Solar Maximum

Solar maximum leads to more frequent and intense geomagnetic storms, creating vivid auroras visible deep into the tropics.

The Great Solar Storm of 2024 May Have Made the Strongest Auroras in Centuries

Auroras seen at low latitudes in May may be among the strongest on record

NOAA says 'extreme' Solar storm will persist through the weekend

A severe geomagnetic storm is ongoing, causing auroras and potential disruptions like power grid irregularities and degraded communications.
The Solar storm is the most intense recorded in over two decades, with impacts on power grids, satellite communications, and possible long-term damage.
Forecasts predict ongoing Solar activity and the potential for extended northern lights displays on Saturday night.
