A powerful solar storm, known as a “cannibal storm,” is expected to hit Earth today, possibly disrupting GPS, communication networks, and power grids. The British Geological Survey has issued its highest alert, warning that the ongoing storm has already affected satellite navigation. A second, stronger geomagnetic wave is set to reach the UK by afternoon and could be one of the largest in 20 years. Caused by explosions on the Sun’s surface, such storms can disturb Earth’s magnetic field. The event has already produced bright Northern Lights across the UK, with more expected tonight if skies stay clear. (PC: X)
