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 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 ...
It was triggered by a large sunspot area and an X-class solar flare (magnitude 1.0) accompanied by a full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME). ... "The May 11 solar storm, one of the strongest in ...
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 ...
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 25–26 January 1938 geomagnetic storm (also titled the Fátima Storm) was a massive solar storm which occurred 16–26 January with peak activity on 22, 25, and 26 January and was part of the 17th solar cycle. As the electrification of Europe and North America was still in its infancy, the light storm could be seen brilliantly.
The peak of Solar Cycle 25 started in January and goes through October, which means we could see more solar flares in the coming months. Solar flares decrease as the sun nears solar minimum.
