A massive solar explosion has triggered a powerful geomagnetic storm, disrupting satellites, GPS systems, and flights across the globe. The flare erupted from sunspot AR4274, sending highly charged particles toward Earth. Experts say it caused a rare “Ground Level Event,” where radiation reached the surface. Passengers on polar flights may have faced higher radiation exposure. The US NOAA warned of possible power grid and radio signal disruptions. Dazzling auroras were seen as far south as Florida and Texas. Scientists compare this to the 2006 solar event and warn that more such storms could follow soon. (PC: India Today)
