Geomagnetic storm alert issued! Solar wind may spark a solar storm, stellar auroras around the Arctic Circle

[ad_1] In recent weeks, the frequency as well as intensity of geomagnetic storms has increased. This is perhaps due to the approaching peak of solar cycle 25 which is likely to boost solar activity. Thus, we may see more intense and frequent solar storms, geomagnetic storms, CMEs and solar flares. Now, forecasters have issued a geomagnetic storm alert due to approaching solar winds.Also Read: Total solar eclipse - Check safety tips, ways to watch online and more Geomagnetic storm alertAccording to a Space Weather report, forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have revealed that a stream of solar wind is making its way towards Earth and it may graze the planet's magnetic field. It is predicted to result in a G-1 geomagnetic storm on April 4. For the una...

Solar storm alert: CME set to spark Geomagnetic storm soon, beautiful auroras likely

[ad_1] Solar storm alert: On March 17, a big Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupted on the surface of the Sun. This CME is now on course for Earth and it could spark a geomagnetic storm soon, raising a potential threat of a solar storm. This development comes just days after another CME grazed Earth's magnetic field, triggering a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. Know all about this solar storm alert.Also Read: NASA prepares for solar storm surge as new research unravels complexity of solar phenomena Solar storm alertAccording to a SpaceWeather report, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a huge eruption of the solar surface where a CME was expelled. This CME is being called a “Canyon of Fire". The space agency has modelled the data and revealed that this solar storm cloud is now app...

Solar storm watch: Geomagnetic storm on the cards today due to possible CME impact

[ad_1] Solar storm watch: Just a few days ago, Sunspot AR3559 posed a threat of X-class solar flares due to the ‘beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field. This development came amidst a new forecast for solar cycle 25 released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). As per the predictions, the solar cycle is expected to peak at an intensity stronger than previously anticipated. Now, forecasters have revealed that a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) could strike Earth soon and it might trigger a geomagnetic storm. Know all about this solar storm alert.Also Read: Sunspot could hurl out X-class solar flares Solar storm watchAccording to a SpaceWeather report, NOAA forecasters say that a CME might graze Earth's magnetic field today, March 14.

NASA says strong incoming solar winds could spark geomagnetic storm on Earth

[ad_1] The barrage of solar activity continues as we near the peak of solar cycle 25. For the unaware, a solar cycle is an 11-year period where the Sun's activity dips and rises. The lowest point of activity in the cycle is known as the solar minimum, while the period of highest activity is known as the solar maximum. As we approach the solar maximum, Earth is predicted to face more CMEs, sunspots, solar flares, and solar storms. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which carries a full suite of instruments to observe the Sun, has now revealed that a strong stream of solar wind is flowing towards Earth and it could spark a geomagnetic storm. Know all about this latest development. Geomagnetic stormYesterday, it was revealed that a sunspot on the solar surface containing almost 12 d...

Sun BLASTS another solar flare at Earth; Know the geomagnetic storm warning

[ad_1] We are yet to receive an update on the incoming CME cloud that is supposed to deliver a glancing blow to the Earth today. But in the meantime, reports of another solar flare eruption have raised concerns among researchers. This particular solar flare was produced on sunspot AR3341 on June 23, the same region that was responsible for the X1-class flare that sparked a massive short-wave radio blackout on June 20. While yesterday's flare has not sparked a blackout, it now remains to be seen if this can cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth.Space weather physicist Dr. Tamitha Skov, who is also popularly known as space weather woman, mentioned in her forecast, “This week our Sun really kicks things into high gear with Region 3341 firing an X1.1-flare, an M4.9-flare, and launching two nea...

Alert! Dangerous Geomagnetic storm today; It will impact Earth and humanity this way

[ad_1] A Geomagnetic storm warning has been issued today as a result of extremely high solar activity these past couple of days. Our Sun is in the middle of its 11-year solar cycle and this was led to an increase in 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. Strong Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been observed being emitted from the Sun in the past couple of days. Now, a geomagnetic storm warning has been issued for today as these frighteningly powerful CMEs will slam against the Earth's magnetosphere today.According to spaceweather.com, “OAA forecasters say there is a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms on Oct. 4...
