Solar Flare warning! Geomagnetic Storm to hit Earth this weekend

[ad_1] Currently, the Sun is at its volatile best as it reaches its solar cycle peak. The star entered its solar cycle 25 in 2019 and it is expected to hit its peak in July 2025. Now, a sunspot eruption has produced a strong X2.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded the extreme ultraviolet pulse. A solar flare is a sudden and brief eruption of intense energy from the Sun's surface that releases a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, including X-rays and ultraviolet light. This burst of energy is caused by the release of magnetic energy stored in the Sun's atmosphere. This recent solar flare explosion is one of the strongest observed in recent times and signals the increasing intensity of the Sun as it approaches its peak. Nev...

Unexpected CME to hit Earth tomorrow! Geomagnetic Storm to follow, says NASA

[ad_1] After an intense solar storm struck the Earth and caused a bright auroral display on Valentine's Day, another solar phenomenon occurred yesterday, February 15, as a solar prominence hurled out a partial halo CME towards Earth. And now, this CME is expected to reach Earth as soon as tomorrow, February 17, according to a report by Spaceweather.com. A large CME can contain a billion tons of matter that can be accelerated to several million miles per hour in a spectacular explosion. Solar material streams out through the interplanetary medium, impacting any planet or spacecraft in its path.Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage. Once released from the Sun, CMEs can take between 24 to 48 hours (abou...

Geomagnetic storm alert! Dangerous CME hits Earth, causes Auroras

[ad_1] Whenever solar activity rises, huge bubbles of coronal plasma are ejected, threaded by magnetic field lines over the course of several hours. According to NASA, CMEs often look like twisted rope, known as ‘flux rope'. A large CME can contain a billion tons of matter that can be accelerated to several million miles per hour in a spectacular explosion. This solar material streams out through the interplanetary medium, impacting any planet or spacecraft in its path. Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage.Spaceweather.com reported that a CME hit Earth just days ago! When these solar particles reach Earth, they can interact with the Earth's magnetic field and cause it to fluctuate. According to the ...

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...

Menacing Geomagnetic Storm to hit Earth today! NOAA issues warning

[ad_1] Earth is facing a Geomagnetic Storm risk today due to rising solar activity. Know what the NOAA report says. Disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field that occur when the planet's magnetic field interacts with charged particles from the sun are known as Geomagnetic Storms. These storms are caused by solar activity such as flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that send a burst of charged particles towards the Earth. Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage. When these solar particles reach Earth, they can interact with the Earth's magnetic field and cause it to fluctuate.NOAA forecasters have revealed that Earth is at risk of a G-1 class geomagnetic storm which is expected to impact Earth today...
