New York: The effects of the powerful solar storm that hit the Earth began to appear in the sky.
According to foreign media reports, the most powerful solar storm in two decades hit the earth on Friday, due to which various countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, saw amazing views of light in the sky.
Satellite systems and power grids are at risk of being affected by the solar storm, but there have been no immediate reports of power and communication disruptions.
Experts say that the total spread of the sunspot cluster is several hundred thousand kilometers, which is 15 times more than the total area of the earth.
According to reports, many people in the US and UK saw the sight of lights in the sky in the early hours of Saturday morning, the pictures of which have been shared on social media.
Britain’s Met Office meteorologist Chris Snell said the scenes were seen across the country, with images from other European locations including Prague and Barcelona.
