Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news. My name is Jenna, and this is

Smarter News.

Well, hi, everybody. I hope you're off to a great start to your week wherever you are. I was just speaking a little bit on our before the show show, which we like to do with our live audience here at Smarter News before we get scoop started about this geomagnetic storm that has produced this opportunity for so many around the world to actually see northern lights. And so I saw some

news going into this week that in some cases, you may actually continue to see these lights,

perhaps today, maybe even tomorrow. I saw just reading real quickly before we jumped on air here,

that it looks like this geomagnetic storm is waning. And it's interesting

in the news, isn't it, about things that we really pause and concentrate on and then things

that we sort of brush past, like geomagnetic storms. I mean, here's one of the, here's like

the headline, right? Historic geomagnetic storm that led to spectacular northern lights

displays around the world starts to wane.

So this goes on to say, as many other sites have explained, is that the geomagnetic storm

causes issues to power grid and starlink service. This sounds like an important thing that

maybe we should focus on a little bit more.

So I apologize. I am ready to do a deep dive about geomagnetic storms. I love the photos that

we received at Smarter News from many of you. And I hope to put those up on our social media

accounts this week because they're amazing. And for so many of us, seeing the northern

life, seeing that spectacular is not going to happen unless you do some really big travel.

In many cases, people were just standing on their driveway and seeing these amazing lights.

So, you know, that's a great opportunity. But also, do we need to know anything about these

geomagnetic storms that could be disrupting

really important things in our life, like the power grid?

If anyone has an expertise in that, I'd love to hear from you.
