An unpredicted magnetic storm has begun on Earth
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] An unpredicted average magnetic storm has begun on Earth, which may reach a stronger level. This was reported on June 13 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.  “A magnetic storm has been registered on Earth since 11 p.m. Moscow time and as of 4 a.m. it has not stopped, reaching the G2.3 level at the moment,” the report says. Scientists noted that the G2.3 score is considered above average, exceeding the threshold at which the impact on energy systems and radio propagation becomes noticeable. "The causes of the storm are not clear at the moment. In recent hours, measuring instruments have shown a noticeable increase in plasma density, as well as magnetic field induction in the solar wind surrounding the Earth," the experts explained. They added that the plasma speed is not increased, and this is the main indicator of the arrival of mass ejections or a flow of matter from a coronal hole to the Earth. Scientists said that the development of the event is difficult to predict. According to current data, the planet is prematurely entering a 2-3-day period of complex geomagnetic conditions with strong fluctuations in geomagnetic indices. On June 8, specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Sciences IKI reported that an exceptionally large plasma emission had occurred in the region of the Sun's south pole. According to specialists, a cloud of rare size and density was formed as a result of the destabilization of a giant solar prominence. Since it was located on the far side of the Sun, it was impossible to observe it from Earth. Posted by: badanov 2025-06-14 |
