So what is a geomagnetic storm, and why did it push this dazzling light show so far south?
Researchers saw at least seven CMEs on May 10 when NOAA released ageomagnetic storm warning.
The storm peaked on Friday evening when it reached an extreme level known as G5.
This is the first time this has occurred since October 2023.
The solar flares responsible for the storms come from a cluster of sunspots 17 times larger than Earth.
The area started acting up last Wednesday and remained active over the weekend.
