Strong Magnetic Storm Approaching Earth Today

Strong Magnetic Storm Approaching Earth Today

The completed sunspot "AR3615" produced a strong solar flare classified as M6.7, which may increase in strength. Today, Wednesday, the emissions directed towards Earth have arrived. A magnetic storm of at least G-1 level is expected. This storm is extremely sensitive and is accompanied by auroras and communication disruptions, and it may negatively affect those who are sensitive to sudden fluctuations in the magnetic field. There is a risk of much stronger flares, particularly those classified as dangerous X-class, which could be produced by spot AR3615 as it expands and takes on more unusual shapes. Most importantly, the magnetic poles within it are "increasing," signaling a greater danger. Solar physicists monitoring the sun explain that the close proximity of positive and negative poles within a large group of sunspots can lead to remagnetization and powerful solar flares.
