    "A Solar Superstorm Caused a GPS Glitch Bad Enough to Crash Self-Driving Cars

    The massive eruption threw GPS readings off by more than 33 feet (10 meters).

    On November 11, 2025, the Sun unleashed a series of solar flares that struck Earth, triggering a severe geomagnetic storm that peaked for around six hours. The event triggered beautiful auroras across the skies, but it also wreaked havoc on crucial technology we rely on for our daily lives.

    In a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a team of scientists measured the disruption to global navigation systems caused by the geomagnetic storm. The results revealed significant positioning errors, large enough to mess with precision agriculture and autonomous vehicles across the U.S."

  2. Sun unleashes powerful X-class solar flare and Earth-bound CME that could spark northern lights for July 4 weekend

    However, after further analysis, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm watch for July 3, indicating that at least part of the CME could land Earth with a significant blow.

  3. MAHOOSIVE #geomagnetic #SolarStorm going on - stronger than last night. And here at 51 degs north its windy and wet. Bugger.

    Last night there was a very annoying high haze which meant i got a vague purpleish sky to the north at best.

    Damn

  4. A coronal mass ejection (#CME) that erupted from the sun ☀️ on Saturday slammed into Earth’s magnetic field late last night, triggering a G2 (moderate) #geomagnetic storm. And forecasters expect geomagnetic activity to intensify tonight, with potential G3 (strong) storms and even a slight chance of G4 (#severe) conditions earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-acti

  5. The #Carrington Event was both the most powerful #SolarStorm and the most powerful #Geomagnetic #Storm ever recorded.

    It started with an incredibly intense solar flare, the most powerful ever observed, releasing a massive amount of energy and matter from the Sun.

    This solar storm sent a massive coronal mass ejection towards Earth, which then slammed into our magnetosphere, causing the most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded.
