Earlier this month, we experienced the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades. The Sun's solar flares gave us a brilliant light show of auroras—but also provided valuable data for our @NASASun scientists: go.nasa.gov/3K2lhpn pic.twitter.com/WToxLCSqZF

There's a small chance you may have possibly seen one or two aurora pics last weekend. What happened? Why was this solar storm so big? What impact did it have on satellites in orbit? And what is ESA doing to improve our understanding of #SpaceWeather? www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_weather/The_May_2024_solar_storm_your_questions_answered pic.twitter.com/Hz4uVSWOuP

As you may have noticed, it’s been a stormy month for our Sun so far! See how we’ve tracked the most intense solar storm to reach Earth in 20 years, which produced possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years: go.nasa.gov/4bkMu2x

With all the solar activity lately, we’re answering key questions about solar storms and their effects on Earth. Today’s question is: How do I take a good aurora photo? 🤔 Tips below! ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/14toInlMJd
