Aurora Borealis 2024 May 11. Starting on may 7, at least seven coronal mass ejections, or cmes, charged toward earth and began storming our planet on may 10, which was when the strongest. Nasa says may saw one of the strongest aurora events in 500 years, with the sun’s solar maximum making northern lights reach farther south.
