"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."

In February 1204, the Japanese court poet Fujiwara no Teika recorded in his diary that a terrifying "red vapor" and glowing red light filled the night sky over Kyoto for three consecutive nights.
Eight centuries later, scientists analyzed carbon-14 spikes in ancient tree rings and confirmed he had witnessed a massive, historic solar storm.
The red skies were a severe, low-latitude aurora borealis triggered by powerful coronal mass ejections. A solar storm of that magnitude today would have fried every satellite, GPS system, and global power grid on Earth.

I haven't used #NE4TN Walt's 100 Watt 49:1 #TENNTENNA transformer in awhile. Going to take out for a #pota #parksontheair ride today to see how it handles this morning's band conditions. #solarcycle25 #solarstorm #amateurradio #hamradio
