The May 2024 solar storm, also known as the Gannon storm, is now ranked by NOAA as one of the most memorable solar events in history.

It included a parade of powerful solar flares between May 8-11, 2024 , originating from a beastly sunspot group that measured 17 times wider than Earth 's diameter.

While there were a lot of positive impacts from the event, there were also some not-so-good surprises.

Scientists say there's still so much more to discover from the Gannon Storm .

The more we can learn about how it affects our daily lives, including our economy, remains a high priority.

"Press and media are becoming more knowledgeable," NOAA 's SWPC Service Coordinator Shawn Dahl said.
