A coronal mass ejection (CME) being launched by a solar flare (highlighted) on July 15. The CME later cannibalized another CME that launched earlier on July 14 and is now heading straight for Earth.

Geomagnetic storm sends 5 coronal mass ejections to Earth : Short Wave Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration observed a cluster of sunspots on the surface of the sun ...

A coronal mass ejection (CME) being launched by a solar flare (highlighted) on July 15. The CME later cannibalized another CME that launched earlier on July 14 and is now heading straight for Earth.

Having originated from multiple solar storms and an unusual 'dark eruption', there are fears the 'cannibal' coronal mass ejection could spark a weak geomagnetic storm when it hits Earth today.

A duo of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is projected to combine into one "cannibal" CME before impacting Earth later today. The combo could potentially cause a very strong geomagnetic storm here on ...

Just last month, a powerful solar storm lit up skies across the northern hemisphere, producing vivid auroras visible as far ...

The extreme magnetic regions produce all sort of effects, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). CMEs are large waves of plasma (electrically charged particles) thrown by the Sun ...

Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are magnetically driven large-scale expulsions of plasma from the solar corona that travel through the heliosphere, and are the most significant drivers of geomagnetic ...

Spawned by a coronal mass ejection, or wave of plasma unleashed by the sun, the storm reached level G4 or “severe” on the 1 to 5 scale for geomagnetic storms. Sign up. Advertisement.

Earlier in the week on Tuesday night, the sun emitted a solar flare, rapidly prompting a coronal mass ejection (CME), a large burst of plasma and electric waves. 4.

Our Sun is vitally important to our continued existence, but it’s also a volatile object with a spicy personality. Coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, are … ...
