Officials reported that a major solar storm is approaching Earth. It was stated that the storm will reach our planet in 2 days according to the forecasts.
Coronal mass ejections, also known as CMEs, are the name given to gigantic ejections of magnetized particles released from the sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. The impact of these charged clouds on the Earth is caused by the magnetic field of the planet. damage and in satellites, power grids and telecommunications networks. glitches may also cause to strong solar storms may cause.
Here’s experts, just one of these solar storms we’re talking about. two days later warns that it will hit our planet. Expressing that two CMEs ejected from AR2975, an extremely active sunspot, are approaching the Earth on Monday, March 28, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stated that the intensity of the geomagnetic storm that these ejections can trigger is out of 5 G3 says it might.
Impressive aurora images will accompany the storm
In a statement on the matter, NOAA said there is no need to panic for now and that a G3-level solar storm is highly likely to have serious effects on infrastructure. low records that. Of course this is still your stormn power and internet outagesIt doesn’t change the fact that what could be causing it.
However, NOAA is also quite impressive in areas far from where polar auroras normally appear due to storms. aurora images stating that it may occur “Auroras for this storm can be seen as far south as Pennsylvania to Iowa, Oregon and north if weather conditions are favourable.” uses expressions.
Earth’s magnetic field is weakest above the poles, meaning solar particles can penetrate much deeper into the planet’s atmosphere in these regions. As a result of the interaction between charged solar particles and particles in the Earth’s atmosphere, we can call it a complete visual feast. polar lightsso auroras are coming out.
The UK’s national weather forecaster, the Met Office, said in a statement that auroras could be seen from Scotland and Northern Ireland on Thursday, March 31. In addition to this, the Met Office will launch in the coming days. mid-level solar flares records that it may be.
On the other hand, NOAA, which has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Clock until Friday, April 1, is issuing a small G1 warning for Wednesday, March 30, and that level will rise as the storm approaches. He will rise to G2 transmits.
