G1-class Geomagnetic storm set to hit Earth as NOAA warns of cannibal CME

[ad_1] NOAA has warned that the progress of Solar Cycle 25 has surpassed scientific predictions, indicating a notably greater number of sunspots and solar storm eruptions than initially predicted by experts, and that forecast may not be very good news for Earth. The cycle began in December 2019 along with a significant surge in solar activity. Over a period of time, we have witnessed numerous dangerous solar storms striking Earth. Recently, on July 14th, the most visually dramatic eruptions of Solar Cycle 25 occurred on the surface of the Sun emitting dark plasma from the Sun's southern hemisphere, a SpaceWeather.com report revealed. Surprisingly, this explosion originated within the magnetic canopy of AR3370, a previously hidden and subtle-sized sunspot. One of these coronal mass eject...

Solar Storm Fury! Geomagnetic storm likely to be sparked tomorrow, NOAA warns

[ad_1] As many as two solar storms are set to impact Earth! These were generated by a couple of partially Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs), spewed out by the Sun on July 4 and they are currently on their way. This solar activity, when it hits the Earth's atmosphere will likely generate geomagnetic storms on Earth. The likely date, when the first solar storm hits Earth and triggers a geomagnetic storm, is July 7. This has been confirmed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) forecasters.NOAA has warned that a G1-class geomagnetic storm is likely to hit Earth on 7 July. "Magnetic responses are likely to reach the G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm levels, with a chance for G2 storm levels if more favourable conditions are observed. Stay tuned to our webpage ...

Geomagnetic Storm alert! STRONG G3-class storm may hit Earth tomorrow

[ad_1] Earth-directed explosion on the Sun left the planet in the strike zone! A massive magnetic filament that was slithering across the southern hemisphere of the sun erupted on April 21st, hurling a cluster of particles toward Earth's direction, SpaceWeather.com reported. It also shared a clip from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory that shows soon after the eruption on the surface of the Sun, the US Air Force reported strong Type II and Type IV solar radio bursts. These are natural shortwave emissions produced by shock waves preceding the CME as it passes through the Sun's atmosphere.Solar outbursts shoot coronal mass ejections (CMEs), that ultimately generate geomagnetic storms on Earth. The worrying part is that these CMEs are heading straight for Earth. "The CME should reach Earth...

Menacing Geomagnetic Storm to hit Earth tomorrow as Sun unleashes multiple CMEs

[ad_1] A strong G-2 class geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth tomorrow, October 4. Will it have a serious impact? The Sun has been very busy this weekend churning out horrifically powerful CMEs and spitting them out towards the Earth. Resultantly, another G2-Class geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth tomorrow, October 4, spaceweather.com reported. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters have confirmed that “there is a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms on Oct. 4th when multiple CMEs might sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. Most of the incoming CMEs were hurled into space by sunspot AR3110, which unleashed a series of strong flares (M5.9, M8.7, X1) over the weekend.”Over the last c...

Alert! Geomagnetic Storm to hit Earth today as Sun blasts out CME

[ad_1] A stream of the solar wind and a group of CMEs are all set to trigger a G-2 class geomagnetic storm on Earth. What impact will it have? Find out. A moderately dangerous geomagnetic storm is set to hit the Earth today, October 1! According to the spaceweather.com report, the geomagnetic storm will be the result of the dual solar events that will lead to a G2-class geomagnetic storm on Earth. First, a solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field; it is flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun's atmosphere. Second, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CMEs) spewed by the Sun has sent massive amounts of energy towards the Earth. The CME was ejected from the Sun on September 28. Solar outbursts shoot coronal mass ej...

Geomagnetic storms are dangerous and THIS is how they affect Earth; 4 points

[ad_1] Earth is facing the prospect of a moderate-level geomagnetic storm on September 4. But what are these geomagnetic storms? Know all details. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters have warned that a minor G1 class and a moderate G2 class geomagnetic storms are likely to hit Earth on September 4. This will happen when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere. But what are these geomagnetic storms? Do they have any impact on our Earth? Here is everything that you need to know about Geomagnetic storms and their impact.What are Geomagnetic StormsA geomagnetic storm, which is also known as a magnetic st...
