In May 2024, the biggest solar storm in over 20 years hit the Earth. This caused auroras to spread over regions beyond the North and South Poles, where the phenomenon is usually exclusively visible. In the rare event, people in many parts of Europe, North America, and Asia were able to enjoy a beautiful pink and purple glow in the night sky. The event led many to wonder what a solar storm is and how it is related to auroras.
