Solar Storms Dazzle with Magnificent Auroras
A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun created dazzling auroras across the globe this past weekend. The vibrant displays of the northern lights (aurora borealis) and southern lights (aurora australis) mesmerized onlookers worldwide.
The Historical Context of Current Solar Activity
The last time a solar storm of this magnitude reached Earth was in October 2003, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
