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...
