Sun releases the largest solar radiation storm ‘in over 20 years,’ forecasters say

By Ashley Strickland, January 19, 2026

"Powerful solar activity released by the sun is heading for Earth and it’s likely to create dazzling auroral displays in unexpected areas Monday evening and early Tuesday morning. It could also disrupt #satellite-based communications and #GPS accuracy.

"A solar radiation storm, ranked at a level four out of five on a severity scale, is being tracked by the National Weather Service’s Space Weather Prediction Center, or #SWPC.

" 'An #S4 severe #SolarRadiation storm is now in progress - this is the largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years,' SWPC shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'The last time S4 levels were observed was in October, 2003. Potential effects are mainly limited to space launch, aviation, and satellite operations.' "

Hey! How can inital #GPS finding satellites on my #LineageOS phone be sped up? I have no #gApps or #microG installed.

It takes sooooo long until I can use GPS for navigation.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?

Ah, another riveting tale of #GPS #spoofing in #Iran, because that's exactly what the world needed right now 😂. Clearly, the secret to world peace lies in sifting through #GitHub repositories and deciphering tech jargon that only a starry-eyed terminal could love. 🚀🌍 Who needs comedy when we have technical analyses to keep us entertained? 🙄

Technical Analysis of Starlink Terminal GPS Spoofing/Jamming Detection in Iran

https://github.com/narimangharib/starlink-iran-gps-spoofing/blob/main/starlink-iran.md

#HackerNews #TechnicalAnalysis #Starlink #GPS #Spoofing #JammingDetection #Iran #CyberSecurity

Nariman Gharib, an #Iran cyber-espionage expert (on exile):

Obtained #Starlink terminal debug data from Iran during the ongoing internet shutdown.

The telemetry shows direct evidence of GPS spoofing: the dish detected 18 #GPS satellites with valid signal lock, but activated its anti-spoofing countermeasures (inhibitGps: true). This isn’t simple jamming; the government appears to be broadcasting fake GPS signals to confuse terminals.

The impact: 20%+ sustained packet loss, connection never stabilized after 24 minutes, bandwidth restricted, and beam pointing ~1° off target. Starlink stayed online but was barely usable.

The anti-spoofing detection works, but SpaceX’s fallback positioning can’t currently maintain normal performance under electronic warfare.

First documented technical evidence of state-level GPS spoofing against consumer satellite internet.
