Weekend Solar Storm Disrupts Tech and Communications

The strongest geomagnetic storm in 20 years caused power grid fluctuations, GPS disruptions, and impacted satellites.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a warning about the severe solar storm last Thursday.
The storm caused high-frequency radio blackouts in Asia, Europe, and Africa, affecting military and maritime communications.
Starlink satellites experienced degraded service but remained operational, according to SpaceX.
Farmers in the Midwest reported GPS issues with their tractors, leading to delays in planting crops.
The Hubble Space Telescope's orbit was affected due to increased atmospheric drag from the solar storm.
