On March 26th, news of severe geomagnetic storm warnings from the China Meteorological Administration and relevant U.S. agencies flooded various platforms.

According to geomagnetic monitoring data, from 23:00 on March 24th to 23:00 on March 25th (Beijing Time), the Earth witnessed a 3-hour severe geomagnetic storm, a 6-hour moderate geomagnetic storm, and a 3-hour minor geomagnetic storm. 3d57dabf-9373-439e-b295-962c52139679.jpg It's been observed that under the intense bombardment of solar energy, the Earth's magnetic field undergoes rapid short-term changes, resulting in countless collisions between Earth's atmosphere and high-energy particles from the Sun, ultimately leading to the formation of auroras.

Due to this geomagnetic storm, spectacular auroras have been witnessed in places like Mohe in Heilongjiang and Genhe in Inner Mongolia.

It's worth noting that many individuals on online platforms claim to have been affected by the geomagnetic storm, experiencing symptoms like drowsiness and insomnia.

In response, CCTV Science and Education has released expert explanations, stating that geomagnetic storms are natural phenomena triggered by solar activity, primarily affecting the Earth's magnetic field and ionosphere. While ionospheric anomalies can disrupt radio wave propagation, interfering with satellite communication and navigation systems, the impact on human health is minimal, and there's no need for excessive concern.

Therefore, friends experiencing recent symptoms like drowsiness and insomnia should look for underlying causes within themselves, such as excessive work pressure.
