A Cloud of Solar Plasma Approaches Earth 0 18

A cloud of solar plasma is approaching Earth, and the first signs of the phenomenon are being recorded; however, magnetic storms have not yet begun. This was reported by the solar astronomy laboratory.

The plasma cloud was ejected from the Sun on October 3 during a flare, and the ejection was slow and without shocks, allowing the magnetosphere to adjust, scientists explained. Currently, no geomagnetic storms or disturbances are being recorded.

"The current disturbances may potentially last for a considerable time (from a day or more), so there remains a high probability that weak geomagnetic storms will occur shortly," the specialists added.
