Description
English: On April 21, 2023, the GOES-16 Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) detected a coronal mass ejection erupting from the sun, which hurled plasma at two million miles per hour toward Earth.

This eruption produced a severe geomagnetic storm on Earth. Geomagnetic storms can affect electrical grids, spacecraft, radio frequencies, GPS signals, and astronauts in space. On April 23, the particles reached Earth’s upper atmosphere and caused an aurora in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

This is the third severe geomagnetic storm since Solar Cycle 25 began in 2019. As the sun’s activity continues to ramp up, NOAA satellites will be watching for hazardous space weather.
