storms of 2013 and 2015). We also encourage studies focusing on the interaction of the main CME with other planets and solar wind bodies (moons) and other regions of the heliosphere. Contributions focusing on simulation studies are also encouraged. Finally,
we encourage submissions with focus on predictions of extreme geomagnetic storms for the remaining period of solar cycle 25 and beyond. Thus, the main goal of this Research Topic is to advance our understanding of extreme geomagnetic storms including the comparison
of the May 2004 storm with other historical events.</font></span></p>
