Solar storm warning! Direct hit on Earth expected by 2,00,000 km long solar filament

[ad_1] Space science experts have predicted that a massive Solar storm is heading to Earth. The Sun’s explosion erupted 2,00,000 km long filament. The sun seems to be in a pretty active mood as it has been throwing solar explosions and solar storms to earth. And the latest is a 200000 Km long solar filament erupted on the solar surface leaving scientists and researchers worried about a possible solar storm directed at Earth. As shared by spaceweather.com, the giant filament of magnetism erupted from the southern hemisphere of the Sun, appearing like a rubber band. The portal that keeps a track of all the activities going on in our solar system shares, “A magnetic filament in the sun's southern hemisphere erupted on Oct. 4th, hurling part of itself into space. ”Spaceweather experts hav...

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...

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 storm triggers ‘dancing shapes and pillars’ auroras on Earth!

[ad_1] A stronger Geomagnetic storm hit Earth on September 4 resulting in beautiful auroras that appear like ‘dancing shapes and pillars’ in the sky. The Sun has been erupting frequently lately and throwing high energy storms towards earth every now and then. Recently, several solar flares have hit the Earth and resulted in beautiful auroras in the sky. Recently, a G2 class geomagnetic storm has triggered beautiful auroras on September 4 and more are coming in the next few days. For the unversed, a G2-class geomagnetic storm is created when a stream of charged particles or solar wind – flowing from a hole in the Sun - hits Earth. This time the storm lasted over 24 hours and the auroras appeared in different parts of the world...

Watch: Astronauts Capture Shimmering Aurora Lights From Space After Solar Storm Hits Earth

[ad_1] The tweet has amassed more than 113,000 views and nearly 3,000 likes.An amazing video filmed from the International Space Station (ISS) has captured the incredible spectacle of shimmering aurora visible from space. The ISS posted the footage on Twitter on Sunday after a moderate geomagnetic storm hit our planet. The time-lapse video showed a view from the space station as it travelled above the Indian Ocean toward the Coral Sea east of Australia, during which time the aurora could be seen. "This time-lapse video shows an orbital pass above an aurora-draped Indian Ocean all the way to a moonlit Coral Sea east of Australia," the caption of the Twitter post read.

Strong geomagnetic storm hit Earth today; ‘Sky exploded,’ says man as fascinating auroras appear

[ad_1] A G-2 class geomagnetic storm has struck the Earth and it has left people mesmerized as some fascinating aurora views have appeared. Space experts share the details. There is no respite for Earth from the Sun's volatility. In fact, the fraught situation is expected to continue simply because it has yet to reach even the half-way stage of its 11-year solar cycle. Spaceweather.com has reported on the latest instance of the Earth being pummelled by the Sun. This time the solar wind has sparked a geomagnetic storm on Earth. It stemmed from the solar wind hitting Earth on September 4th. The impact caused a G-2 class geomagnetic storm. How did it feel like? According to Greg Ash of Ely, Minnesota, "The sky exploded with da...
