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...

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...

Geomagnetic storms are dangerous and THIS is how they affect Earth; 4 points

[ad_1] Earth is facing the prospect of a moderate-level geomagnetic storm on September 4. But what are these geomagnetic storms? Know all details. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters have warned that a minor G1 class and a moderate G2 class geomagnetic storms are likely to hit Earth on September 4. This will happen when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere. But what are these geomagnetic storms? Do they have any impact on our Earth? Here is everything that you need to know about Geomagnetic storms and their impact.What are Geomagnetic StormsA geomagnetic storm, which is also known as a magnetic st...
