Выброс корональной массы заденет Землю в период с 17 по 18 июня

Impact on the magnetosphere will be tangential

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 portion of the ejection headed towards our planet. It will reach Earth between June 17-18, 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.
