A G5 storm only takes one well-aimed flare & CME. 14 July 2000 Bastille day event X8.1 flare. The storm reached G5 level and a DSTmin of -301 nT. It mid-July, would likely have been stronger near the equinoxes.

An engineering model of NASAβs DAVINCI descent probe recently proved that it can take the heat! π₯΅
In preparation for its mission to Venus, the model was exposed to temperatures up to 869 F (465 C) five times - and made it through every cycle unscathed!

It was photographed prior to a major thermal evaluation, where the DAVINCI team proved it could insulate the instruments the probe will carry from the intense heat of Venus. NASA/Mike Guinto
