Severe solar storm strikes Earth, disrupting satellites and triggering aurora spectacle Earth is experiencing one of the most intense solar radiation storms in 20+ years, triggered by an X1.9-class solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) from Sunspot AR 4341. NOAA classifies it as an S4 severe solar radiation storm, the highest level since 2003. Potential impacts include satellite damage (electronics failure, GPS degradation, increased drag in low orbit), aviation risks (radiation exposure for polar flights, rerouting delays), GPS and communications failures (timing errors, HF radio blackouts) and power grid instability (voltage fluctuations, transformer damage, blackouts). The CME arrived faster than…
