The nearby solar eruption snowplowed dense plasma towards the Earth triggering geomagnetic storms in at least two US states, according to weather data.
as the Sun goes through a period of heightened activity.
A CME is a solar eruption called a coronal mass ejection, which is a huge expulsion of plasma from the Sun’s outer layer, called the corona. and the Earth uses its magnetic field to protect us from it.“A CME passed close to Earth on July 1st. It did not directly strike our planet’s magnetic field.”“Instead, it made itself known by “snowplowing” dense plasma in our direction,” the SpaceWeather.com experts said.
According to the website, in Upper Midwest states like Minnesota and further west in the state of Washington there were some issues. The July 1 coronal mass ejection is part of a rash of solar storms as the Sun goes through a period of heightened activity.A coronal mass ejection is a huge expulsion of plasma from the Sun’s outer layer.
