A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun are currently causing spectacular auroras to light up the skies across the globe. These mesmerizing displays of light are a result of charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere.
While the auroras are a breathtaking sight for many, the rare solar storm responsible for them may also have some negative impacts. One of the potential consequences of this solar activity is the disruption of communications systems on Earth.
