Space weather experts warn of the arrival of a possible geomagnetic storm to Earthafter an eruption of hot material from the Sun occurred on March 28.
This is specified by the daily updates page on space weather and solar activity ‘spacewater‘. According to his information, an explosion in the outer atmosphere of the Sun, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), has produced a ‘solar tsunami’ that could travel to Earth and cause a geomagnetic storm of moderate intensity.
Also from the Space Weather Forecasting Center (SPWC), of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), from the United States, has been warned of this G3 geomagnetic storm (considered powerful). “As the CME approaches Earth, NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite will detect changes in the solar wind in real time and SWPC meteorologists will issue appropriate warnings“, they explain in their analysis.
In addition, they add that the impacts on the technology of a G3 storm are generally small, “but they can drive the northern lights to latitudes far away from the polar regions”, being seen in New York City or in parts of northern England. .
Coincidentally, the space company Blue Origincreated by the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has postponed the fourth launch of its New Shepard spacecraft right on that date, andhe Thursday March 31. “The flight readiness review has been completed successfully and weather is the only remaining factor to get to launch,” the company announced.
