Powerful magnetic storm heading towards Earth: increased activity observed on the Sun

The probability of a magnetic storm in the next couple of days is very high

A powerful class X magnetic storm is expected on Earth. It may occur on February 4, according to the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of IKI and ISZF RAN.

We can only keep our fingers crossed that there will be no major X-flare with an ejection in the next couple of days. Unfortunately, the mathematical probabilities of such a scenario are quite high.

According to experts' calculations, disturbances in the magnetic field will begin at 16:00 and last until 22:00, after which the situation is expected to stabilize. However, the level of solar activity remains high.

Earlier it was reported about nine flares of the penultimate power class, recorded on February 3.
