On May 10th, NASA revealed that the Sun experienced its most powerful solar flare in the last 19 years. This significant event, rated at G4 intensity by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), led to a severe geomagnetic storm on the Sun's surface. The aftermath of this flare raised concerns about potential electricity disruptions, electronic device malfunctions, and satellite damage. Additionally, captivating images of the Northern Lights from various parts of the world emerged following this remarkable solar activity. Let's delve into the mesmerizing display of the Northern Lights together.

The largest solar flare in the past 19 years has occurred!

NASA has shared photographs of the major solar eruption. Meanwhile, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that Earth is about to be engulfed by the largest solar storm in the last 19 years. A series of solar flares could hit Earth in the coming hours and days, potentially causing disruptions in communication, navigation, and electrical systems.

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has also mentioned that auroras, also known as polar lights, can be seen even in southern regions such as Northern California and Alabama.

This phenomenon, extending to central and southern Europe, could allow for the observation of polar lights in northern regions of Turkey as well. Here are the northern lights from around the world 👇
