Huge geomagnetic storm hits Earth, causes power fluctuations, auroras

[ad_1] A dangerous geomagnetic storm has hit Earth and it has had visible, physical effects. Here’s what NOAA revealed. Solar activity such as sunspot eruptions, solar storms, solar flares and more, have increasingly plagued Earth for the past months due to the Sun now being in the middle of its solar cycle. Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage. While Earth's magnetosphere deflects most solar activity carried by the solar wind, some charged particles seep through. These energetic particles cause magnetic disturbances, classified as either geomagnetic storms or substorms.What NOAA report saysThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has revealed that a Geomagnetic storm hit Earth in the p...
