"Potential GPS Disruption and Northern Lights Forecasted as Solar Storm Approaches Earth"

A solar storm is expected to hit Earth's atmosphere today, potentially causing disruptions to GPS, radio, and satellite systems. The storm, rated as a moderate G2 event with a chance of G3, could also lead to power grid issues and the northern lights being visible further south than usual. The storm is the result of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, triggered by magnetic activity on the sun's surface. While the general public is not expected to be significantly impacted, some technological issues may arise as the CME collides with Earth's magnetosphere.
