  2. Solar flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare

    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.

  3. Geomagnetic storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_storm

    In early August 1972, a series of flares and solar storms peaks with a flare estimated around X20 producing the fastest CME transit ever recorded and a severe geomagnetic and proton storm that disrupted terrestrial electrical and communications networks, as well as satellites (at least one made permanently inoperative), and spontaneously ...

  8. May 2024 solar storms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2024_solar_storms

    The solar storms of May 2024 were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25. The geomagnetic storm was the most powerful to affect Earth since March 1989 , [ a ] and produced aurorae at far more equatorial latitudes than usual in both ...
