During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.
The solar storms of May 2024 were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.

May 11, 2024 · Last weekend, the biggest solar storm to hit Earth in over 20 years swept over our planet as the Sun’s activity ramps up to the peak of its current solar cycle. The storm created beautiful auroras, causing skies to sparkle and dance at much lower latitudes than usual.
May 10, 2024 · A dramatic blast from the sun set off the highest-level geomagnetic storm in Earth’s atmosphere on Friday that is expected to make the northern lights visible as far south as Florida and Southern...
May 11, 2024 · NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the two solar flares on May 13 and May 14, 2024. The flares are classified as X1.7 and X1.2-class flares, respectively. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares created from a mixture of SDO’s AIA171 and 131 channels.
May 11, 2024 · Large areas of the United States, Europe, and other locations unaccustomed to displays of the aurora borealis saw vivid lights as energetically charged particles from the solar storm passed...
