Geomagnetic storm coming? Check what NASA has revealed about this upcoming CME

Recently, NASA models have detected a partially Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that can cause a minor geomagnetic storm and spark auroras at high altitudes on November 30.

Due to the Solar Cycle 25, the Sun is quite active and a steep spike has been observed in solar activity. Recently, NASA models have observed a CME that is moving towards the southern hemisphere of the Earth and can cause a geomagnetic storm. This CME is expected to reach Earth on November 30. (Pixabay)

According to reports, the geomagnetic storm is expected to be a minor one, however, it can still spark auroras at high latitudes. Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather physicist, posted on X and informed, “The Sun aims south! A partly Earth-directed #solarstorm launched today. NASA & NOAA agree, a glancing blow is expected in early November 30. This one is going mainly south of Earth so minor effects expected. #Aurora possible at high latitudes, #GPS & amateur #radio impacts minimal”.  (Pixabay)

The upcoming CME is expected to cause a minor Geomagnetic storm. These storms that travel hit the Earth have the ability to interrupt the operation of technologies such as GPS, radio, and satellite communications. Flights, electricity networks, and space programs too can be affected, but only if it is a really powerful storm.  (Pixabay)
