A Huge Solar Storm Approaches Earth

Coronal mass ejections, also known as

CME, are the name given to gigantic ejections of magnetized particles released from the sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. If these charged clouds hit Earth, they can damage the planet’s magnetic field and cause powerful solar storms that can also cause disruptions to satellites, power grids and telecommunications networks.

Here experts warn that one of these solar storms we mentioned will hit our planet in just two days. 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) reports that the intensity of the geomagnetic storm that these ejections can trigger may be G3 out of 5.

Storm will accompany impressive aurora images

In a statement on the matter, NOAA said there is no need to panic for now and that a G3-level solar storm is likely to have serious effects on infrastructure. It says it’s pretty low. Of course, this still does not change the fact that the storm can cause power and internet outages.

However, NOAA stated that due to the storm, very impressive aurora images can also occur in places far from the places where auroras are normally seen at the pole.

The fact that the Earth’s magnetic field is weakest above the poles means that 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, auroras, or auroras, which we can call a complete visual feast, emerge. It is stated that it can be seen from Northern Ireland.In addition, the Met Office He notes that mid-level solar flares may also occur on these days.

On the other hand, NOAA, which has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Clock until Friday, April 1, issues a small G1 warning for Wednesday, March 30, and states that this level will rise to G2 as the storm approaches.
