Solar storms that led to dazzling auroras threatened to destroy thousands of satellites around Earth. Solar storms that led to dazzling auroras worldwide in May caused many satellites to lose altitude, putting them at risk of collision, a new study said.

The research, accepted for publication in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, calls for a better understanding of the impact of solar storms on satellite operations and the sustainability of their orbits.
