A powerful solar storm supercharged the Earth s magnetosphere, sparkling the usually elusive Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, across the UK. The celestial spectacle, predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA s Space Weather Prediction Center SWPC as the most powerful since 2003, left skywatchers obsessing over the unforgettable display of nature s beauty. Northern lights appear in the night sky above the Brocken early Saturday, May 11, 2024, in Schierke, northern Germany.

The rare solar storm has great potential to disrupt communication, GPS, and other satellite communications as well.
