Unexpected CME Causes G1 Geomagnetic Storm, Stunning Aurora Display
A coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun directly hit Earth on December 17, 2023, at 05:19 UTC, causing a stronger than anticipated G1 geomagnetic storm and vibrant displays of the aurora borealis visible across higher latitudes in the US and beyond, despite initial forecasts predicting a near mis...
