The sun launched a barrage of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth over the last two days .
The first two CMEs combined and formed a "cannibal CME " which hit on July 29 at 8:27 p.m. EDT ( 0027 on July 30 ), sparking a minor G1 -class geomagnetic storm and triggering northern lights across the U.S. and Canada .
Forecasters had originally predicted a more potent G3 -class storm from the cannibal CME , but the magnetic fields inside the CME were pointing in the wrong direction and therefore didn't connect with Earth 's magnetosphere.
