Coronal mass ejection from colossal New Year's Eve solar flare will strike Earth today
![]() 35143 Friday, 05 January, 2024, 00:18 Earth will be struck today by a coronal mass ejection from a huge solar flare that erupted from the sun on New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve flare created a CME, a huge bubble of plasma from a region of the sun called the corona, which is equivalent to the sun's outer atmosphere, and this has an Earth-directed component. Though this massive ejection of plasma will only graze the magnetic bubble surrounding our planet Tuesday (Jan. 2), the magnetosphere, it could trigger a geomagnetic storm that could affect communications and power infrastructure. |
