•Geomagnetic storm expected to blast Earth tomorrow
84% Informative
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.
