The Earth's magnetic field is being bombarded by a solar storm cloud, which could lead to intense geomagnetic storms.
The worst of the solar storm is expected to hit on Friday. The early morning hours of July 23 are at 0000GMT. Earth's magnetic field will be reached by a full-halo coronal mass ejection. According to forecasts, the Auroras may be visible farther away from the poles.
The space weather was observed on Thursday, July 21st, according to a statement from the Space Weather Prediction Center. There are bursts of charged particles that are ejected from the sun. When these particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field, they can cause awe, but they can also cause problems.
There have been the worst solar storms in the past.
The oncoming space weather storms were caused by an explosion in the sunspot, according to Spaceweather.com. There is a large flare coming from just above the sun's equator.
In North America, the storm could bring the northern lights as far south as Illinois or Oregon, while in the UK they could be seen from the north of Scotland. Radio propagation could be affected as far south as New York and Idaho in the US and northern areas of the UK. The fact that some animals use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation could affect some migratory animals.
The storm will make its way towards the G1 and G2 levels.
If long durations of high intensity storming occur, the solar storm could affect electrical infrastructure at high latitudes. Changes in drag and orientation are possible in spacecraft.
As part of a regular 11-year solar cycle the sun's activity continues to increase. After a few years of quiet sun, flares and CMEs are becoming more frequent in advance of the peak of the solar cycle.
