A powerful magnetic storm hit the Earth
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Scientists recorded a strong disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field on August 12, according to data published on the website of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of IKI and ISTP. “There is currently a magnetic storm (strong, level G3) occurring in the Earth’s magnetosphere,” the publication says. At the G3 level, problems with energy systems may arise on Earth, interruptions in satellite and low-frequency radio navigation, and disruptions in high-frequency radio communications are also possible. In addition, polar lights may be observed in mid-latitudes. As reported by IA Regnum, the previous magnetic storm, which began on Earth on August 4, ended the next day. It almost reached the G3 level (strong) from 15:00 Moscow time to 21:00 on August 4, after which it began to weaken. The following day, two powerful flares of the highest class occurred on the Sun. They were preceded by a series of medium explosions.
