Start/Middle of the May 2024 Solar Storms, the most powerful set of Geomagnetic storms since the 2003 Halloween solar storms.
In mid-May 2024, Earth was hit by the most intense geomagnetic storms since the legendary 2003 Halloween events, creating spectacular auroras and technological disruptions.
In May 2024, a series of massive solar flares unleashed charged particles that collided with Earth’s magnetic field, triggering the strongest geomagnetic storms since the 2003 Halloween storms. Auroras illuminated the night sky as far south as the Mediterranean and the southern United States. Satellite operators reported communication blackouts and GPS inaccuracies, while power grid managers braced for potential voltage surges. Scientists monitored the solar activity closely to improve space weather forecasting and protect critical infrastructure. Observatories worldwide captured valuable data on the Sun–Earth interaction during this extraordinary event. The 2024 storms underscored the vulnerability of modern technology to natural space phenomena and spurred renewed investment in solar research.
