CME Shockwave Hits Earth Disrupting GPS and Radio Signals

World10 days ago

Interference is affecting satellite navigation and long-distance communication after a solar wind impact on Oct 10. The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) created signal noise and degradation for GPS users and radio operators on both the day and night sides of the planet, with conditions worsening over the next 24 hours.

Continued flaring from solar Region 4549 is amplifying the storm's effects, and aurora photographers are reporting visibility in areas with clear skies. The initial shockwave hit Earth around 15:00 UTC, according to observations.
