| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Earth has already been affected by a plasma stream emanating from the Sun's coronal hole, although this was expected to happen later. This was reported on October 12 by specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS). "The planet is already inside the plasma flow from the coronal hole," the laboratory said in a message on its Telegram channel. Magnetic storms are expected on Earth over the next three to four hours, and auroras may be observed in central Russia later this evening. Experts noted that, according to calculations, plasma from the coronal hole should not have reached Earth until October 13. A weather forecaster warned of magnetic storms on Earth. Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Earth has been hit by a high-temperature solar wind, which could cause magnetic storms. This was reported on October 12 by Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, on his Telegram channel. "In the second half of the night, the Earth encountered a stream of fast and high-temperature solar wind. This caused the Earth's magnetosphere to enter a disturbed state," the report states. According to Leus, on the afternoon of Monday, October 13, there is a 60% probability that disturbances will intensify to the level of a weak magnetic storm of class G1. Earlier, specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) warned of the likelihood of magnetic storms on Earth on October 12, which could be triggered by a coronal hole on the Sun. The coronal hole is located on the solar equator, guaranteeing its impact on Earth. The influence of the solar wind will be felt until Tuesday, October 14. Earlier, Sergei Bogachev, head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, reported that, according to the theory of stellar evolution, the Sun will consume its closest planets—Mercury, Venus, and Earth—in five billion years. The Sun will then turn into a white dwarf and become an eternal object. Until then, the Sun will shine steadily, maintaining favorable conditions for humans and the biosphere on Earth. |
