Geomagnetic Storm Hits Earth After Solar Flare Plasma Arrival
Earth is currently experiencing a geomagnetic storm, triggered by a stream of plasma arriving from a recent solar flare. This event was recorded on March 21st.
The long-anticipated storm has brought with it exceptionally bright auroras, reaching maximum intensity, although their most vivid display has shifted towards Europe.
The initial solar flare occurred on March 16th, with the geomagnetic storm commencing five days later. Despite its expected duration, this storm is classified as weak, registering at level G1.7.
It is anticipated that this phenomenon will persist for approximately six days.
It's worth noting that earlier this spring, activity was also observed: on March 14th, the season's first prolonged geomagnetic storm was recorded. The day before, March 13th, a powerful solar flare prompted warnings of potential weak to moderate geomagnetic storms linked to a coronal hole.
