Solar flares hurl CME towards Earth! Dangerous Geomagnetic storm to hit soon
[ad_1]
NOAA forecasters have revealed that a G-1 class geomagnetic storm is expected to hit the planet in the coming days.
The Sun is continuing to spew solar flares and the latest one has fired a powerful CME towards Earth. It will buffets the Erath's magnetosphere. According to NASA, "Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are huge bubbles of coronal plasma threaded by intense magnetic field lines that are ejected from the Sun. CMEs often look like huge, twisted rope, which scientists call 'flux rope'.". If the arriving solar magnetic field is directed southward it interacts strongly with the oppositely oriented magnetic field of the Earth to spark geomagnetic storms. Now, NOAA forecasters have revealed that Earth is at risk of a geomagnetic storm, which could hit the planet in the coming da...
