Dangerous M-class Solar Flare set to hit Earth today, NOAA satellite data shows

[ad_1] In recent months, there has been a notable increase in solar activity as the Sun approaches the peak of its solar cycle. Referred to as Solar Cycle 25, the Solar Maximum is expected to occur around the middle of 2024. That's why every month has witnessed a higher count of sunspots and a greater occurrence of geomagnetic storms and solar flare eruptions. One geomagnetic storm hit Earth yesterday and lit up both ends of our planet -- north and south. Co-rotating Interaction Regions (CIR) occur when swift solar winds originating from different directions collide with the Earth, exerting pressure on its magnetic field and leading to its expansion and formation of fractures.Now, new sunspots are expected to spark solar flares. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)...

Strong Geomagnetic storm set to hit Earth on May 23; NOAA alert says

[ad_1] Just a few days back, a geomagnetic storm hit the Earth! A crack had opened in Earth's magnetic field on May 19th and sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm. Resultantly, many northern-tier US states witnessed something remarkable - naked-eye auroras. This was probably a result caused by a near-miss CME that left the sun last week. And now, the fear is rising over a new solar flare! The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has alerted about the threat of a strong approaching solar flare. NOAA is using the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) for the task.The report by SpaceWeather.com has informed, "New sunspot AR3311 is crackling with strong M-class solar flares. There have been five eruptions so far today and one almost reached category...

NOAA says STRONG M-class solar flare set to hit Earth, may generate geomagnetic storm

[ad_1] There is a solar flare coming that is likely to hit Earth, NOAA has revealed. Solar flares are spewed out by our Sun and can be several times larger than the Earth and cause significant damage through geomagnetic storms. To better understand these solar flares, researchers have successfully replicated them in a laboratory. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters have alerted that there are chances of a solar flare today itself, SpaceWeather.com reported. The possibility of a solar flare is 40 percent and that too of an M-class intensity.AR3280, a rapidly developing sunspot, is probably the origin of the impending solar flare. It possesses a beta-gamma magnetic field that is unstable and has the potential for M-class solar flares. Solar flares are ca...

Powerful M-Class Solar Flare alert today! Earth may face solar storm danger

[ad_1] The Sun is increasingly spewing out dangerous solar flares, which are having a significant impact on Earth. Recently, a newly formed sunspot exploded spitting out out an M3-class solar flare on April 6, which was directed in the direction of Earth. Result? A minor shortwave radio blackout over the Indian Ocean area, affecting South Asian nations such as India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and even China, Japan, and South Korea. The situation was just coming to normal when yet another solar flare is expected to have its impact on Earth.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasters predicted that there is a 30 percent chance of an M-class solar flares today, April 9, SpaceWeather.com reported. The report further noted on its website, "Almost certainly, the source ...
