The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISZF) has presented new information about the most powerful flare recorded on the Sun in June. This flare was accompanied by a large coronal mass ejection.
The main volume of ejected plasma went above the plane in which the orbits of the planets are located. This reduces the likelihood of a serious impact on Earth. A small part of the ejection headed towards our planet. It will reach Earth between June 17 and 18, but the impact on the magnetosphere will be tangential.
Based on current models, it is expected that the geomagnetic storm will be of a weak level — no higher than G1. More accurate data on the trajectory of the plasma movement and official forecasts of geomagnetic activity will appear later.
