Earth could be hit by 'bird wing' solar eruption TOMORROW

A 'bird wing' eruption sent waves of superheated plasma surging across the sun's northern hemisphere.

At over 600,000 miles long ( one million km ), the filament of solar material was more than twice as long as the distance from the Earth to the moon.

Now, scientists predict that part of this filament eruption could hit Earth tomorrow .

The full force of this eruption could trigger a severe or even extreme geomagnetic storm, the highest level on official rating systems.

However, astronomers say that Earth will probably receive a glancing blow from the passing storm.
