The night sky in New York could light up with auroras during G2-class storms.
Our planet is set to experience G2-class, moderate-intensity geomagnetic storms today after the Sun sent out solar flares of multiple intensities as well as some charged particles over the weekend. The night sky in New York could light up with auroras,Increased activity on the Sun has long been expected as the star has entered an active phase of its 11-year cycle. During this time, the polar regions on the Sun flip, where the north becomes the south and vice versa.
On Sunday, October 2, the Sun had a busy day sending out an X-class flare followed by two M-class flares and particulate matter alongside, which scientists refer to as coronal mass ejection . The bulk of solar activity did not come to a close with the weekend, with astronomers forecasting a 99 percent chance of C-class flares, 70 percent chance of M-class flares, and 30 percent chance of X-class flares following them.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the CMEs sent out are expected to reach Earth at midnight on October 4 and cause a G2-class geomagnetic storm. A geomagnetic storm of such intensity can cause voltage alarms in high-altitude power systems, damage transformers, and even disrupt spacecraft operations at times. The resultant auroras from this storm are expected to be visible to the naked eye in areas as low as New York and Idaho.
According to Spaceweather.com, the positive and negative polarities of the various cores of this sunspot constantly keep bumping into each other, which can produce more X-class flares.and, over the period of the next two weeks, could send high amounts of solar activity towards us. So, be ready for some more geomagnetic storms, radio blackouts, and auroras.
