Scary Geomagnetic storm set to hit Earth tomorrow due to this dangerous CME

[ad_1] A recent CME eruption on the surface of the Sun is all set to spark a Geomagnetic storm on Earth tomorrow, December 27. Here’s what could happen. Solar activity has been at a high due to the Sun being in the middle of its solar cycle during which it reaches its peak volatility levels. As a result, sunspot eruptions, solar storms, solar flares and more, are all plaguing Earth. Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage. Now, scientists have observed harmful Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) erupting from the solar surface, which could result in a geomagnetic storm hitting the planet as soon as tomorrow!NOAA forecasters have revealed that Earth is at risk of a G-1 class geomagnetic storm which is expect...

Solar winds rushing towards Earth! Geomagnetic storm risk in the coming days

[ad_1] Gusty solar winds have been observed blowing towards the Earth. Could the planet be at risk of a geomagnetic storm? Earth has been in the firing line of solar storms and more recently as the Sun is nearing the middle of its 11-year solar cycle. This has resulted in increased solar activity. Earth has faced numerous solar flares these past few months and more are expected as the Sun moves ahead in its cycle. NOAA forecasters have revealed that Earth is at risk of a geomagnetic storm soon.According to spaceweather.com, the solar winds blowing towards Earth are a result of hot gaseous material escaping from a canyon-like hole in the Sun's atmosphere. This hole is known as a Sunspot. The Spaceweather.com report said, ”A high-speed stream of solar wind is approaching Earth. The gase...

Solar winds charging towards Earth! Could spark scary Geomagnetic Storm today

[ad_1] High speed solar winds have been observed blowing towards the Earth. Could the planet be at risk of a geomagnetic storm? The Sun is nearing the middle of its 11-year solar cycle, resulting in increased solar activity and solar output. Earth has faced numerous solar flares these past few months and more are expected as the Sun moves ahead in its cycle. As a result, the planet is being bombarded with solar particles, flares and solar storms. NOAA forecasters have revealed that Earth is at risk of a geomagnetic storm.According to spaceweather.com, the solar winds are a result of hot gaseous material escaping from a large southern hole in the Sun's atmosphere. This hole is known as a Sunspot. The Spaceweather.com report said,” NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G1-class geom...
