Over 60% of SpaceX's 7,500 satellites are affected by disruptions to its satellite internet service, Starlink, as a result of a major solar storm. Concerns are raised for satellite communication, power systems, and navigation by this geomagnetic disturbance, which is the strongest since 2003. Starlink's satellites continue to function in spite of these difficulties. The geomagnetic interference is predicted to last through the weekend, despite SpaceX's warning of possible "degraded service." This disruption highlights the impact of space weather on Earth's magnetic field, affecting satellite operations and requiring close monitoring and mitigation efforts by companies like SpaceX.Like and subscribe for more updates.
