        <link>https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/06/solar-cycle-25-peak-northern-lights-telecommunications-disruption.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ In May, powerful solar storms delivered stunning auroras to latitudes that rarely experience them. But Solar Cycle 25, the current surge in the sun’s storm activity, isn’t set to peak until summer of 2025, meaning we may well see more appearances of the northern lights in places not used to seeing them. Kevin Sterne, senior research associate with the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) at Virginia Tech, says that geomagnetic storms can produce northern lights in lower latitudes, but they can also increase the radiation exposure to communication and other satellites. ]]></description>
