Severe geomagnetic storms will hit Sverdlovsk Oblast in the near future.
Over the past 24 hours, 15 flares were recorded on the Sun. Three of them belong to the second-most powerful class M — it is such events that can cause geomagnetic storms, astronomers note. Reported by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy (XRAS).
— Today, in the time interval between 2 and 4 a.m. Moscow time, one of the largest prominences this year was ejected from the Sun; it had been observed over the past several days on the star's eastern limb and had during that time been gradually shifting toward Earth.
But, most likely, it will not hit Earth, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of IKI RAS and ISZF RAS reported.
