Satellite data shows 2024 Gannon solar storm compressed Earth's plasma shield and sparked global auroras Satellite observations show the 2024 "Gannon" solar storm dramatically compressed Earth's plasma shield, producing widespread auroras and creating elevated space‑weather risks for satellites and high‑altitude operations. Scientists say the event temporarily thinned the protective plasma layer around Earth, increasing exposure of infrastructure to solar effects.
