Strong geomagnetic storm hit Earth today; 'Sky exploded,' says man as fascinating auroras appear
There is no respite for Earth from the Sun's volatility. In fact, the fraught situation is expected to continue simply because it has yet to reach even the half-way stage of its 11-year solar cycle. Spaceweather.com has reported on the latest instance of the Earth being pummelled by the Sun. This time the solar wind has sparked a geomagnetic storm on Earth. It stemmed from the solar wind hitting Earth on September 4th. The impact caused a G-2 class geomagnetic storm. How did it feel like? According to Greg Ash of Ely, Minnesota, "The sky exploded with dancing shapes and pillars." He was commenting on the fascinating auroras that were birthed by the geomagnetic storm.
