"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."

🌞 A Plan to Stop Solar Storms From Sending Us Back to the Stone Age
｢ Far out in space, where geostationary satellites orbit, a half-dozen school-bus-size satellites crack open and start dumping barium, lithium or sodium. Within minutes, sunlight transforms this material into an ionized gas shield that slows the oncoming massive blob of plasma ｣

Could a powerful geomagnetic storm be the reason 8,000 Victorian homes suddenly lost power in January this year?
I had a chat with Dr Richard Marshall from Australian Bureau of Meteorology Space Weather about the origin of solar storms and the risks they present to our communities and critical infrastructure.
So great to be able to have such fantastic and professional insights about these important events and how we, as a society, need to mitigate against them.

Solar storm has caused a geomagnetic induced current grid emergency in New Zealand. The grid operator has taken action to prevent a 'cascading grid failure'. https://static.transpower.co.nz/public/interfaces/gen/GEN%20Severe%20%28G4%29%20Geomagnetic%20Induced%20Current%20Event%20in%205881326725.pdf?VersionId=ndXMkAbaT82vsOkkmRvgRjdp1uN1Ybjp
