New Magnetic Storms to Hit Earth After Major Solar Flare

A new series of magnetic storms is expected on Earth. Scientists report that a powerful M1.5 class flare was recorded on the Sun at the beginning of October, accompanied by a large ejection of plasma directed towards Earth.

This means that in the coming days, our planet's magnetic field will once again be put to a serious test, maintaining a tense geomagnetic situation. Particularly alarming is the fact that this powerful flare occurred in the currently largest observed active region on the Sun, No. 4232.

At the time of the explosion, this center was located directly on the Sun-Earth line. Such an alignment, in fact, leaves no chance for the plasma cloud to pass by our planet. Therefore, scientists predict with almost one hundred percent certainty that the ejected mass will collide with the Earth's magnetosphere, causing new and possibly more intense magnetic storms.

These phenomena can affect not only space technologies - the operation of satellites, communication systems, and GPS - but also the stability of power grids. In addition, numerous studies show that magnetic storms can also affect people's well-being, especially those with chronic cardiovascular or nervous system diseases. In the coming days, it is recommended to be more attentive to one's own health and to follow the forecasts of specialists.
