The Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights, is faintly seen over the Atlantic Ocean to the left of the Milky Way from Santa Monica beach near Jose Ignacio, Maldonado Department, Uruguay, on May 11, 2024, with the lights of Punta del Este glowing on the right. The most powerful solar storm in more than two decades struck Earth, triggering spectacular celestial light shows from Tasmania to Britain – and threatening possible disruptions to satellites and power grids as it persists into the weekend.
