☀Strong #solareruption directed to Earth - chances for #Aurora in Belgium💥On October 9, 03:56 Belgian time, an extreme solar flare occurred on the Sun, one of category X. According to the STCE, a Category 7 to 9 magnetic storm is possible on October 10. https://www.stce.be/nl/Strong_solar_eruption_chances_for_aurora_in_Belgium

#Sun Ejection May Hit Earth's Magnetic Field, Causing #Geomagnetic Storms

Story by Jess Thomson, May 19, 2023

"A huge plume of solar plasma was spat out of the sun on Thursday and could hit the Earth Sunday, affecting our magnetic field and atmosphere.

"This coronal mass ejection (#CME) was shot out because of an erupting filament of magnetism in the sun's southern hemisphere, which sent a cloud of plasma soaring in our direction.

"'The CMEs from the filament eruption that began around 17/1530 UTC near Region 3309 were modeled and determined to be mostly ahead and south of Earth's orbit. However, model results indicated a glancing blow is possible late on 21 May that would cause additional enhancements,' the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said in a three-day geomagnetic forecast."
