An extreme storm, estimated at Dst −531 nT arose from a fast CME (mean ≈1500 km/s), occurred during the ascending phase of the minimum of the relatively weak solar cycle 14, which is the most significant storm on record in a solar minimum period. Aurora was conservatively observed to ≈44.1° ILAT, and widespread disruptions and ...
The Carrington Event was the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10.It created strong auroral displays that were reported globally and caused sparking and even fires in telegraph stations. [1]
An example is the Meeus smoothing formula, [7] with related solar cycles characteristics available in this STCE news item. [ 8 ] The start of solar cycle 25 was declared by SIDC on September 15, 2020 as being in December 2019. [ 9 ]

The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) 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 ...
Researchers have identified the biggest ever solar storm – when the sun emits huge bursts of energy – using ancient tree rings. The event happened 14,300 years ago, according to the analysis ...
