India's Aditya-L1 solar observatory has provided new insights into a powerful solar storm that struck Earth in October 2024. ISRO scientists analyzed data showing the storm's turbulent region compressed Earth's magnetic field, pushing it unusually close to the planet. This compression briefly exposed geostationary satellites to harsh space conditions and super-intensified auroral currents, potentially heating the upper atmosphere. The study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, utilized observations from Aditya-L1 and other international missions to understand severe space weather events.
