Earth just survived TWO geomagnetic storms! And this was the impact

A few days ago, the Sun underwent a series of combustion reactions that gave rise to large solar flare activities and resultant coronal mass ejections (CME) flung several million kilometers in space. Soon after, on March 14 and 15, geomagnetic storms, also known as solar storms, hit our planet. Normally, solar storms can be quite dangerous. The most powerful of them are capable of even causing a large-scale power grid failure and damage to satellite infrastructure that controls the internet, GPS services, mobile networks and much more. Thankfully, these solar storms were not as dangerous with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) classifying the geomagnetic storm on Monday as G1 (minor) and the one on Tuesday as G2 (moderate).

Currently, the Earth is in the middle of a mild solar storm streak. The first storm hit Earth on March 13 and then two subsequent storms were seen on March 14 and 15. These more frequent geomagnetic storms are being caused by the Sun’s active phase, which is also known as solar maximum. The solar maximum is the regular period of greatest solar activity during the Sun's 11-year solar cycle. According to scientists, Earth entered this phase sometime last year and it is going to continue for a while. Although so far we have only seen minor incidents of solar storms, a severe one could be just around the corner.

Geomagnetic storms, or solar storms are intense eruptions of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun’s atmosphere. These are caused by random spontaneous combustions on the surface of the Sun, which we call solar flares or CME. The combustions shoot these radiations out in space at very high speed and it often looks like a storm cloud, where the name is derived from.
