Aurora borealis, or northern lights, produced by a solar geomagnetic storm are seen over Washington, DC on October 10, 2024. Severe geomagnetic storm conditions could hamper ongoing recovery efforts for Hurricanes Helene and Milton by disrupting satellite communications, power grids and GPS services, the US Space Weather Prediction Center warned October 10, 2024. A coronal mass ejection (CME) struck Earth this morning at 11:17 am (1517 GMT), disrupting the Earth's magnetic field and quickly achieving G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm conditions at 12:57 pm, the agency said.
