NASA has identified sunspots on the surface of the Sun, suggesting new solar storms in the coming weeks.

One of the most striking aspects of this recent solar activity is the shape of one of the ejections. This shape indicates a significant ejection, with a high likelihood of interacting with Earth's magnetosphere, which has raised concerns among space weather experts.

NASA has warned that the charged particles emitted by the Sun can cause anything from power outages and radio communication failures to errors in satellite navigation systems. High latitude regions are particularly vulnerable to these effects, although disruptions can be felt worldwide.
