Solar storm causes spectacular Aurora Australis


Major geomagnetic solar storm happening right now. Musk has good reason to be worried, as an earlier solar storm in February 2023 saw Starlink lose 49 satellites. We're not done with Solar Cycle 25 which started in December 2019 and which will probably continue until 2030. In 2003, a G5 solar storm caused a power outage in Sweden, disabled transformers in South Africa and damaged satellites. Similarly, a 1989 solar storm caused serious problems in North America, including a nine-hour outage for the Quebec power grid.
