It also gave sun-gazers a chance to observe the outer layers of the sun’s atmosphere, which are normally obscured. Then, on May 10–11, the aurora borealis seemed to appear everywhere, all at once.

This is where solar observatories come in – they offer valuable insights by monitoring solar activity, studying its structure, and capturing data from layers of the Sun previously unseen.
