No Internet damage, no blackout, but this Geomagnetic storm was sensational

A massive geomagnetic storm hit Earth on Saturday, which was caused by a solar flare that erupted from the face of the Sun last Thursday. It took a few days to reach the Earth, but when it did, it caused a sensation.

Any geoomagnetic storm has some potential for destruction, with the really bigger ones having the power to knockout out the Internet, Satellites, GPS navigation and the electricity grid for months. However, this geomagnetic storm was not of a very severe nature. It has been dubbed as a G3-class geomagnetic storm.

While it did not do any damage to the infrastructure on Earth, it had one phenomenal impact. It created some marvellous auroras in the Northern hemisphere for humans to gawk at.
