Elon Musk reported that a significant solar storm is currently impacting Starlink satellites, causing "degraded service." The storm, which is the most intense since 2003, reached a level 5 on the geomagnetic activity scale. This severe geomagnetic disturbance has put the satellites under considerable strain, though they are holding up so far. The storm has also led to spectacular Northern Light displays across the U.S. and poses ongoing risks to navigation and communication systems.
