The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10.It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. [1]
May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares [93] and X4.5-class flare. [94] The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th ...
The Dec. 14 flare measured as an X2.8, but is far from the strongest recorded by scientists. The largest in the past decade was a X8.2 recorded on Sep 10, 2017, NASA says. Planet survives ...
The solar storms of August 1972 were a historically powerful series of solar storms with intense to extreme solar flare, solar particle event, and geomagnetic storm components in early August 1972, during solar cycle 20. The storm caused widespread electric- and communication-grid disturbances through large portions of North America as well as ...
On Oct. 3, the strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25 happened when a region of sunspots sent an X9.0 flare blasting out from the Sun. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number ...
This time, we are sharing the 7th edition of the annual Northern Lights Photographer of the Year published by the travel photography blog Capture the Atlas.The photos were taken around the world ...
The Halloween solar storms were a series of solar storms involving solar flares and coronal mass ejections that occurred from mid-October to early November 2003, peaking around October 28–29. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This series of storms generated the largest solar flare ever recorded by the GOES system, modeled as strong as X45 (initially ...
The sun emits the largest solar flare of this 11-year cycle, as imaged by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on October 3. NASA/SDO NASA says the sun is in the highly active "maximum phase" of its ...
