G-2 class geomagnetic storm may hit Earth tomorrow! Check what NASA revealed

NASA has tracked solar events and now, they may well spark a G-2 class geomagnetic storm on Earth tomorrow. The potential risks cannot be confirmed yet, but there is a probability that they can cause auroras and radio blackouts.

As we are moving closer to the solar cycle 2025, a spike in solar activity has been observed and that means strong geomagnetic storms can be sparked and these can cause real damage to various technologies on our planet. The biggest geomagnetic storm that was actually seen and documented by humanity was the Carrington Event of 1859. This geomagnetic storm virtually destroyed the telegraph systems across a number of countries. (NASA)

Recently, The NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has tracked a halo-shaped coronal mass ejection (CME) moving toward Earth. According to the data provided by SOHO, this CME will strike Earth tomorrow November 11. It is estimated that this CME can trigger a G2-class geomagnetic storm.  (Pexels)

As per a report by SpaceWeather.com, “Coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected a halo CME leaving the sun. It is heading straight for Earth. NOAA and NASA models agree that the CME should arrive during the late hours of Nov. 11th (UT), bringing a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms”,  (NASA)

As explained by experts, G2-class geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking auroras in the high to mid-latitude regions. It can also attract smaller satellites satellites that are near the lower Earth orbit. One other effect it can have is, that this geomagnetic storm can cause short-wave radio blackouts which in turn can affect mariners, drone pilots, and emergency responders. (Pixabay)

It should be kept in mind the potential risks caused by this G-2 class geomagnetic storm are still not clear. You can only know about the effects after it hits the Earth. NASA and NOAA keep tracking these storms to record any development and take preventative steps. NASA’s SOHO also helps in collecting data about the sun. it captures images of the sun's corona, measures the velocity and magnetic fields of the sun's surface, and observes the faint corona around the sun.
