A powerful geomagnetic storm swept across Earth on Tuesday after the sun unleashed the first X-class solar flare of 2026.

Astronomers announced today that they have detected a storm on a star other than our Sun for the first time.

A strong solar storm is expected to strike Earth later this week, potentially exacerbating the stress on power grids already impacted by recent hurricanes in the United States.

A strong geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth on October 5-6, triggered by intense solar flares in active regions of the Sun.

A geomagnetic storm is currently affecting Azerbaijan and is anticipated to continue until September 11, according to the Astrophysics Department at Baku State University (BSU).
