Coronal Hole on Sun Causes Strong Geomagnetic Storm at Earth

Class G3, started in the night between 28 and 29 May (ANSA)

NASA issued a warning after detecting a powerful solar storm that is heading towards the Earth and could impact in the coming days. The astronomical event was detected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory when a solar eruption of class X2.7 was recorded, the highest category on the solar activity scale. Experts compared this particular phenomenon with one studied by astrophysicists from the University of Oulu, Finland that had taken place thousands…

In these last few hours, the Earth has been hit by a strong geomagnetic storm of class G3, an unexpected event that has caught the attention of scientists, engineers and critical infrastructure operators around the world. This phenomenon has been described as "anomalous" by experts for its origin and its unpredictable behavior.

The magnetic storm, which began at three o'clock in the morning Moscow time on May 29 and ended at six o'clock in the morning on May 30, lasted 27 hours, making it the longest since May 2024. This was reported on the website of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics. "The storm then lasted 39 hours, reaching a peak value of G5... The post There have been no storms of such …

Coronal Hole on Sun causes strong geomagnetic storm at Earth

New Delhi: A coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) caused a strong geomagnetic storm at the Earth, disrupting radio communications, navigation satellite signals, spacecraft in Earth orbit, and triggering voltage instabilities in power distribution grids. The upside is that spectacular polar lights were observed at lower latitudes. The storming gradually increased in intensity after the HSS became geoeffective on 26 May. According to the Solar …
