Solar Storm Alert

NOAA has issued a warning for a severe solar storm expected to hit Earth on October 10-11, 2024. This storm, classified as G4, is caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, travelling at nearly 2.9 million miles per hour. It has the potential to disrupt power grids, radio communications, and satellites. Additionally, the storm could enhance au...

The new solar storm is caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are explosions of particles leaving the Sun. When these particles arrive on Earth, they disrupt its magnetic field.

NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Centre has indicated a 60 per cent chance that the ongoing solar storm could disrupt the power grid.

Residents in the northern United States are expected to have the opportunity to observe aurorae.

A $340 million satellite that aims to alert people to potentially dangerous solar activity and geomagnetic storms blasted off toward deep space on Wednesday atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
