They predicted a solar storm that will impact the Earth

As of Wednesday, a solar storm will affect the Earth, according to the Center for Spatial Weather Forecasting (SWPC, for its acronym in English). The phenomenon will last until May 16th. Experts said that this would cause more aurora borealis and could cause radio communication problems.

This institution explained that this event is due to a coronal mbad ejection, which is released by the star of our system. In the scale of measurement, it will enter the range of G1 and G2.

According to specialists, a geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of the terrestrial magnetosphere, which occurs when there is an exchange of energy between the solar wind and the space environment that surrounds the planet.

Researcher Sergei Bogachov, of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, pointed out that this type of phenomena cause more aurora borealis and interference in radio communicationss. They also cause problems in power grids, as well as the destabilization of satellite orbits.

This type of storm also has an impact on the behavior of migratory animals, which depend on the magnetic field to mark their new course.
