A 2024 geomagnetic storm exposed vulnerabilities on Earth, disrupted GPS, power grids, and is reshaping our view of solar threats.

A massive geomagnetic storm, triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, recently struck Earth, highlighting the planet's technological vulnerabilities. This event, classified as a G4 storm, caused significant disruptions, including radio blackouts and potential damage to power grids and satellites. The storm's impact was felt across various sectors, with airlines rerouting flights to avoid communication issues and power companies bracing for potential grid failures. Experts warn that such geomagnetic storms could become more frequent and intense due to the sun's increasing activity as it approaches the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, underscoring the need for better preparedness and infrastructure resilience to mitigate future risks.
