The Northern Lights on Earth were shining brightly from space thanks to a geomagnetic storm.
Down on Earth, people north of the U.S. have already been experiencing the green glow of auroras from the geomagnetic storm.
Since there were two eruptions and the second more significant episode overtook the first in space, the event is known as a cannibal coronal mass ejection. “Once we get up to the 4 and 5 level it can cause considerable problems to a lot of our technology that we rely on for everything we do today,” Murtagh said. “It affects satellites, communications systems and particularly the electric power grid.”
