Don't expect massive power outages this week, but do expect to see beautiful northern lights after a significant solar flare erupted from a location on the sun's surface previously believed to be inactive.
as a result of the CME should be a moderate storm on NOAA’s space weather scale and will likely results in little to no impact on Earth’s infrastructure.
During this cycle, large eruptions of immense energy containing the power of several nuclear bombs explode from the surface of the sun, ripple through space and inevitably strike Earth. These are CMEs. Traveling at over a million miles per hour, the ejected mass of protons and electrons can cross the 93-million-mile distance from the sun to the Earth in a matter of days.
Similar to how hurricanes are ranked by categories, The U.S. Space Weather Center ranks solar storms on a scale of "G1 Minor" to "G5 Extreme," with a G5 storm being the most dangerous.Earth has been experiencing space storms throughout its history. Scientific data from ice samples taken from the arctic show evidence of massive geomagnetic storms.
On March 10, 1989, astronomers witnessed a huge CME emanating from the sun which released a billion-ton cloud of gas,"It was like the energy of thousands of nuclear bombs exploding at the same time," NASA said.
