Scientists have recently observed a significant event in space, as a large coronal mass ejection from the sun made its way towards Earth. This ejection caused a severe geomagnetic storm in Earth’s atmosphere, prompting concerns about potential impacts on satellites, the International Space Station (ISS), and the electrical grid.

Fortunately, the event did not have a significant impact on the public, but it did result in a stunning aurora observed in higher latitudes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a report on the event, detailing the potential risks and effects of such geomagnetic storms.

In other news, an exciting discovery was made on a Panama island, where an ancient mangrove forest was found preserved by a volcano for an astounding 22 million years. This extraordinary find sheds light on the history of the area and provides valuable insights into the natural world.
