Unprecedented Solar Storms: The Sun's Growing Fury and Global Disruptions

Intense solar storms and eruptions caused disruptions in radio communication and satellite navigation systems across the western hemisphere. Russia launched the Luna-25 spacecraft, marking its first attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon since 1976, while India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on August 23. NASA may change the nature of the Artemis 3 mission, currently intended to be the first manned landing on the moon since 1972, if there are significant delays in implementing key elements of the program.
