Earth, Geomagnetic storm
Geomagnetic storm from the sun expected to blast Earth tonight — here’s what to brace for
Meteorologists predict that Earth could be blasted by a geomagnetic storm on Wednesday due to its timing with the autumnal equinox. A coronal mass ejection — when plasma and magnetic particles burst forth from the sun’s surface — occurred on Sunday, the same day as the official start of fall, Space.com reported.
Earth to be blasted by solar storm that could take out power grids today
The outburst can interfere with power grids and cause blackouts, as well as fry satellites and interfere with GPS communications. Astronauts bopping around the Earth are also subjected to more radiation. The solar plasma hurtling towards the Earth should slam into us at about 5pm – just in time for rush hour.
