Recent intense geomagnetic storms have led to stunning auroras in locations like Portland, Oregon, and Christchurch, New Zealand. However, these storms also pose challenges for satellite navigation systems and can have destructive impacts. The storms have been described as some of the most powerful in decades, with the latest event being the strongest since 1989.
New analysis shows the magnetic activity from the geomagnetic storm on May 10 and 11 was the strongest since 1989, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center. https://t.co/kNG0APLlex
This month’s geomagnetic storm—the largest in more than 2 decades—not only yielded once-in-a-generation aurorae but also took scientists’ breath away with its power. https://t.co/3H80aeHlzd
Intense weather from space can create incredible beauty such as the recent southern auroras. However, it can also be destructive, and now the Federal Government is trying to figure out how to deal with these interstellar dangers. #9News https://t.co/kZXsaab96p

Northern and southern lights produced by a recent bout of severe space weather may rival the most intense auroras of the past 500 years https://t.co/frZ2dm5qnS
We loved seeing the recent auroras (left, near Portland, Oregon, and right, near Christchurch, New Zealand). But the solar storms that produce such amazing displays also create challenges for satellite navigation systems. Learn more in our white paper: https://t.co/TvFyWP7w52 https://t.co/SwfeNIOvWp
