People across the Northern Hemisphere were treated to a dazzling light show late Friday and early Saturday after a rare solar storm swept Earth.

The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, glow on the horizon at St. Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay on the North East coast, England, Friday, May 10, 2024.

CMEs typically see “a billion tons or so of plasma from the sun” arrive on Earth, according to NOAA. This can result in a “major disturbance” of Earth's magnetic field and cause disruptions of navigation systems, power grids and radio communications.
