In November 2025, the Sun unleashed an unprecedented sequence of X-class solar flares — six powerful eruptions in just ten days, all from the same solar region. The strongest, an X5.1 flare, became the most energetic solar event in more than a year and triggered severe geomagnetic storms on Earth.
In this video, we explain:
Why scientists are more concerned about the pattern than the raw power
How multiple coronal mass ejections combined into a single amplified storm
Why satellites, power grids, aviation, and space missions are now at greater risk
How this event compares to the 1989 Quebec blackout
Why modern infrastructure makes us more vulnerable than ever
What NASA and scientists learned about previously unknown CME feedback effects
Auroras reached unusually low latitudes, radio communications failed across continents, and even rocket launches were delayed due to extreme solar radiation. This event may mark a turning point in how we understand space weather risks.
As our civilization becomes increasingly dependent on satellites and space-based infrastructure, the question is no longer if another extreme solar storm will occur — but whether we are prepared when it does.
