An explosion 92 million miles away just grounded Jeff Bezos’ New Glenn rocket

A solar storm caused by coronal mass ejections from the Sun has delayed the launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket carrying NASA's ESCAPADE mission. The storm, which produced dazzling auroras and posed risks to satellite operations, led NASA to postpone the mission due to concerns over the spacecraft's electronics. The storm is classified as a G4 level geomagnetic event, potentially disrupting power grids, GPS signals, and communication systems on Earth.
