According to a report from CCTV News on March 26th, today's geomagnetic storm activity is starting to diminish. While there has been some impact on low-earth orbit satellites and communications, the intensity and scope of the effects are minimal.
It is reported that this geomagnetic storm phenomenon has persisted for three days, with the peak occurring in the early hours of March 25th.
The geomagnetic storm has resulted in spectacular auroras appearing in places such as Mohe in Heilongjiang Province and Genhe in Inner Mongolia.
Experts suggest that this year has been marked by heightened solar activity, promising more opportunities for aurora enthusiasts to witness captivating auroral displays. Not only do significant geomagnetic storms bring about auroras, but they also make it possible for many low-latitude regions to witness these phenomena. Particularly, last year saw numerous occurrences of geomagnetic storms, leading to sightings of auroras in parts of China such as Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, and even Inner Mongolia.
It's understood that geomagnetic storms typically refer to disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field on a global scale, often resulting in a decrease in the altitude of low Earth orbit satellites and can impact power systems.
Additionally, the electromagnetic disturbances caused by geomagnetic storms may affect communication and navigation systems. However, due to advancements in protective technology and extensive preparedness measures, the resulting impact is minimal.
