With the Sun heading towards the solar maximum, the threat of a geomagnetic storm continuously looms over Earth. If not observed and tracked properly, they can cause huge damage to the huge power and electronic infrastructure built by humanity. This includes blackouts, failure of satellites, internet, GPS, radio communications and much more. (Pexels)

Recently, a report by SpaceWeather.com has suggested that two coronal mass ejections (CME) have been spewed out by the Sun and these are headed for Earth and will likely hit tomorrow, November 4, and it can lead to a geomagnetic storm. As mentioned in the report, “One and perhaps two CMEs could graze Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 4th. Individually, neither CME is particularly significant, but together they could spark a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. This is especially true if one sweeps up the other to form a Cannibal CME”.

Researchers speculated that the upcoming geomagnetic storm will not be hazardous to our our planet. However, it might spark auroras and lead to some disturbances in radio waves, which in turn affect the communication for drone pilots and amateur radio operators and more. (Unsplash)

Yesterday two short-wave radio blackouts hit the Earth yesterday at 5:57 PM and 11:57 PM. This information was provided by the spaceweather.com through an X post. These short-wave radio blackouts were reportedly caused because of the eruption of solar flares on the sun. (Pixabay)

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) uses three very crucial instruments to collect data from various solar activities. They include the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) w and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA). These instruments are very helpful in tracking solar activities and gathering crucial information about the upcoming Geomagnetic storms. (Pixabay)
