Coronal mass ejection ( CME ) was unleashed on Sunday at 5.40pm ET when an enormous sunspot spontaneously erupted.

Spout of solar plasma is currently rocketing toward our planet at over 650,000 miles per hour .

It is expected to reach Earth by midday Eastern Time on Wednesday ( 5pm UK ) Normally, this slight blow wouldn't trigger a geomagnetic storm.

But because it will arrive so close to the fall equinox - which occurred on Sunday - NOAA has forecasted a minor G1 storm for tomorrow .

This type of storm only has a slight risk of impacting infrastructure at high latitudes, including cellphone towers and satellites.

But it could trigger dazzling aur.
