- For decades, scientists thought Earth's geomagnetic response would hit a ceiling as solar storms intensified. A NASA-led Nature study published in July 2026 found that apparent limit was probably a measurement artefact: once the uncertainty was corrected, Earth's response kept rising, suggesting extreme storms could hit up to twice as hard as previous estimates. ↗spacedaily.com · Recorded source date: Aug 26, 2026, 1:32 PM UTC
