Solar Storm to Hit Earth Today Causing GPS and Radio Disruption<\/h1>\n

A geomagnetic storm is expected to surge across the Earth’s atmosphere later today as a plume of solar plasma hits our planet.<\/p>\n

This chunk of the sun was spat out on Sunday as a magnetic filament erupted from the star’s surface, with the coronal mass ejection (CME) set to collide with the Earth at around 1 p.m. ET,\u00a0according to models<\/a>\u00a0by both\u00a0NASA<\/a>\u00a0and NOAA.<\/p>\n

The CME collision could lead to geomagnetic storms as intense as G2-class or even G3-class, which may trigger GPS issues, satellite problems, and auroras seen much further south than usual.<\/p>\n

“Direct Hit! An impressive #solarstorm launch in the Earth-strike zone means a new chance for #aurora by midday Jan 22. We could see a G2-G3 with this one if the magnetic field of the storm is oriented correctly. Amateur radio & #GPS users, expect disruptions on Earth’s nightside,” space weather physicist Tamitha Skov\u00a0posted on X<\/a>, formerly\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, on Sunday.<\/p>\n

CMEs are triggered by magnetic activity on the sun’s surface flinging out huge volumes of solar plasma. This cloud, if aimed toward the Earth, approaches our planet in\u00a0around 48 to 72 hours<\/a>, though some can arrive much sooner. When the plume collides with the Earth’s magnetic field, it can cause disturbances that trigger\u00a0a geomagnetic storm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Geomagnetic storms are measured on a scale of their strength, from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme), according to NOAA. The strength of the storm depends on the power of the CME that triggers it, with more powerful storms being rarer: per 11-year solar cycle, the Earth can expect around 1700 G1 storms, but only about 100 G4 storms and a mere 4 G5 storms during that same period.<\/p>\n

The upcoming solar storm is expected to be G2, with a chance of G3, which can result in several strange impacts across Earth. Power grids may experience voltage problems,\u00a0radio wave transmissions can be scrambled<\/a>, and satellites orbiting close to the Earth may see increased drag, requiring orbit adjustments.<\/p>\n
