On Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11, a top-level magnetic storm may occur for the first time in 20 years. The probability of reaching the G5 level is 15%. This was reported in the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Institute of Space Research and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS and ISTP SB RAS).xras.ru For three days from May 7 to May 9, the Sun ejected four clouds of plasma of exceptional size onto the Earth. “Part of the emissions on the way to the planet should combine into a single, even larger object, which, according to calculations, will collide with the Earth’s magnetic field tonight – on the night from Friday to Saturday,” the institute said. Addicted people may experience mood swings during magnetic storms, outbursts of aggression, as well as decreased performance and headaches. On such days, it is advised to reduce physical activity, walk in the fresh air and maintain a sleep schedule. “Geomagnetic storms on Earth of varying degrees of severity may continue until the end of this week,” the last time being a high-level storm. It was observed on Earth on September 11, 2005. Updated. The Solar Astronomy Laboratory reported the registration of a new, particularly large flare on the Sun. The event is located in the southwestern part of the solar disk, in the same active region as the previous ones – the Event is the fourth most powerful in the current 25th solar cycle. Given the location of the active center, the risks of geomagnetic consequences are still very high – accordingly, Sunday-Monday, experts said. xras.ru Earlier, RIA Voronezh published a photo of the northern lights that residents of the region observed on the night of Friday, May 3. The cause of the aurora was a strong magnetic storm. Did you notice the error? Select it with the mouse and press Ctrl+Enter.
