Solar Storm to strike earth’s magnetosphere on 9th to 10th November 2025

What is a solar storm?
A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields, and material blasted into the solar system by the Sun.

How does a solar storm affect us?
When directed toward Earth, a solar storm can create a major disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field, called a geomagnetic storm, that can produce effects such as radio blackouts, power outages, and beautiful auroras. They do not cause direct harm to anyone on Earth, however, as our planet’s magnetic field and atmosphere protect us from the worst of these storms.

What causes a solar storm?
The Sun creates a tangled mess of magnetic fields — kind of like a dishevelled head of hair after a fitful night of sleep. These magnetic fields get twisted up as the Sun rotates — with its equator rotating faster than its poles. Solar storms typically begin when these twisted magnetic fields on the Sun get contorted and stretched so much that they snap and reconnect (in a process called magnetic reconnection), releasing large amounts of energy.
