Geomagnetic storm from the sun expected to blast Earth tonight — here’s what to brace for
Meteorologists predict that Earth could be blasted by a geomagnetic storm on Wednesday due to its timing with the autumnal equinox. A coronal mass ejection — when plasma and magnetic particles burst forth from the sun’s surface — occurred on Sunday, the same day as the official start of fall, Space.com reported.
Geomagnetic storm expected to hit Earth following autumnal equinox
A coronal mass ejection could strike the Earth's magnetosphere this week and cause a geomagnetic storm due to conditions caused by the autumnal equinox.
'Severe' G4-level solar storm just hit Earth, auroras expected in Southern U.S.
Auroras: On a brighter note, the geomagnetic storm might produce spectacular auroras, probably visible in the Southern United States. As of September 17, 2024, solar activity remains at low levels. The most significant flare recorded was a 9.6 from Region 3825 on September 16.
Geomagnetic Storm Due to Fall Equinox to Hit Earth This Week
The Earth is prone to more geomagnetic storms during the spring and fall equinoxes than throughout the solstices.
Autumnal equinox makes Earth more vulnerable to geomagnetic storms
During the solstices, when Earth's poles are pointed towards, the Sun, our planet experiences the least geomagnetic storms. In contrast, data collected between 1932 and 2014 shows geomagnetic storms are twice as likely around the times of the equinoxes, according to Space.com.
