In May 2024, a powerful coronal mass ejection brought the strongest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years to Earth. During the CME, multiple X-class solar flares were recorded.

Some of these flares can be accompanied by coronal mass ejections, or clouds of plasma and charged particles, that emerge from the sun's outermost atmosphere, the corona.

While solar coronal mass ejections from the sun’s corona create geomagnetic storms when they collide with Earth, NOAA adds that the potential for disrupting communications, the electric power ...
