Visualization of Earth’s magnetosphere being hit by the Mother’s Day geomagnetic storm

Caption

A screen shot from NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio that visualizes the Earth's magnetosphere being hit by a geomagnetic storm that happened throughout May 10-11, 2024. The powerful geomagnetic storm resulted in auroras being viewed in relatively low latitude areas around the globe. Kyushu University researchers found that sporadic Es were also enhanced during these storms.
