A solar storm is a coronal mass ejection (CME) that consists of waves expelled from the Sun that can flow outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth. CME will generate geometric waves that can impact radio, GP…
Space Weather Physicist Dr Tamitha Skov said on her X handle that “A Direct Hit! The impressive #solarstorm launched in the Earth-strike zone has been modeled by NASA. The storm is predicted to hit Earth by midday December 1. Along with two earlier storms already en route means we have a 1,2,3-punch. If the magnetic field is oriented correctly, expect #aurora to reach deep into mid-latitudes. Amateur #radio & #GPS reception issues are likely, especially on Earth’s nightside. G3+ conditions are possible with this storm series.”
