On August 16, 1989, [16] another storm caused a halt of all trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange when three redundant disc drives all failed. [17] Since 1996, geomagnetic storms and solar flares have been monitored from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite, a joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
On 8 May 2024, a solar active region which had been assigned the NOAA region number 13664 (AR3664) produced an X1.0-class and multiple M-class solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. [6] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.
Solar flares erupted 21-22 Feb. Seen here from GOES-16; an R3 flare in the NE, followed by an R1 from beyond the SE limb, and another R3 event from the NE again.
An intense solar storm with about half the energy output of the March 1989 storm. Aurorae were visible in the US as far south as Texas [71] [72] Apr 2000 [73] Jul 2000 Bastille Day solar storm: Caused by an X8-class solar flare aimed directly at Earth Apr 2001
A "severe" solar storm could make the northern lights visible in the U.S. farther south than usual while also posing the potential to disrupt modern technology, according to the National Oceanic ...

A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
