These intense CMEs, driven at speeds ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles per second, pose significant risks to satellites, astronauts and even terrestrial technology. The Earth's magnetic field offers some protection, but powerful solar eruptions can interfere with aviation communications, disrupt power grids and create vivid auroras. When we observe these solar storms in real-time, NOAA can better predict potential impacts, helping to safeguard infrastructure and ensure rapid responses to solar disruptions.
