In late-April 2023, a severe geomagnetic storm in Earth’s magnetosphere led to an vivid display of the aurora in in lower latitudes extending to places like Ladakh. Astronomers at IIA have used multi-wavelength observations from multiple space telescopes to track the origins of the storm in the Sun. They found that the rotation of the filament structure when it was near the Sun was the leading cause behind this solar storm which resulted in such a strong effect on the Earth.
