A geomagnetic storm hitting Earth between Wednesday and Thursday was forecasted by China’s National Center for Space Weather (NCSW) following an explosive outburst of plasma from the sun, also known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), was released from the sun on Monday and is now barreling toward the Earth and due to arrive on Wednesday.
If the CME arrives within Earth’s radius, a series of changes in the space environment including the Earth’s magnetic field fluctuations, increased density of upper atmosphere and disruption to the previous stability of the Earth’s ionosphere will occur, causing anomalies and disruptions to the communications, navigation, aviation and aerospace, disrupting the power grid and even affecting long-distance animal navigation, the NCSW warned.
According to the NCSW, this CME originated near the central region of the visible surface of the sun, and is directed relatively straight toward Earth.
