year on, NASA scientists are still making huge discoveries about

00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:38.560
the largest geomagnetic storm to hit Earth in two decades,

8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.799
the Gannon Storm. The findings are helping us better understand

9
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:45.200
and prepare for the ways in which the Sun's activity

10
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.439
can affect us. One year ago today, representatives from NASA

11
