Yesterday, one of the strongest plasma ejections in recent years was recorded on the Sun. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The event was recorded by several orbital telescopes on June 8 at 11 a.m. Moscow time in the region of the Sun's south pole. It triggered the detachment of a giant prominence from the Sun.
The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences noted that "the ejection is passing by Earth." According to calculations, the plasma went in the direction of the solar system's south pole. However, the probability of magnetic storms is high.
The geomagnetic forecast for today, June 9, shows quite high risks of geomagnetic storms, 56%, which are not related to yesterday's event (in this case, the forecast would be completely red for 2-3 days ahead), but are the result of background solar activity: some flares are occurring on the star, and the forecast reflects this. Tomorrow, the probabilities will drop to 10-20%, which in the current situation means the Sun is returning to a calm state.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a new powerful flare on the Sun entailed a plasma ejection.
