Strongest solar storm in nearly 6 years slams into Earth catching forecasters by surprise

Strongest solar storm in nearly 6 years slams into Earth catching forecasters by surprise

The powerful solar storm supercharged auroras as far south as Colorado and New Mexico.

"The geomagnetic storm peaked as a severe G4 on the 5-grade scale used by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to assess the severity of space weather events. The storm's unexpected ferocity not only made auroras visible as far south as New Mexico in the U.S., but it also forced spaceflight company Rocket Lab to delay a launch by 90 minutes.

Geomagnetic storms are disturbances to Earth's magnetic field caused by solar material from coronal mass ejections (CME) — large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's atmosphere. It turns out that this particular geomagnetic storm was triggered by a "stealth" CME which — as the name suggests — is rather tricky to detect."

Seems it's going to be an interesting cycle. We just had a lesser event (but also with aurora borealis visible as south as Germany) three weeks ago.
