A powerful solar storm in May 2024 caused intense auroras, affecting both the skies and deep sea. Scientists were amazed by the storm's impact, generating aurorae even in low latitudes like the Florida Keys. Researchers are seeking public submissions of aurora pictures to better understand the storm's extent.
Scientists haven't seen auroras this widespread since aurora record-keeping first began. https://t.co/atn9XvnGdB
