Powerful solar storm impacts Earth, says ISRO

A powerful solar storm from Sun's region AR13664 hit Earth in May 2024, causing disruptions to communication and GPS systems. ISRO reported an intense geomagnetic storm with X-class flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). The event, comparable to the historic Carrington event, led to trans-polar flight diversions. ISRO observed effects on the Ionosphere and radio wave reflection.
