[Regnum] The strongest magnetic storm in two months will hit Earth in the next 24 hours. The geomagnetic disturbances will last for approximately six days, until March 24. This was reported on March 19 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The magnetic storm is forecast to be the strongest since mid-January. The most powerful disturbances are expected from March 19 to 21, when Earth will be affected by two large plasma ejections. A weaker "tail" from the influence of coronal holes is predicted from March 22 to 24.
With such a geostorm intensity, auroras are possible on Earth, potentially visible at latitudes of 50–55 degrees, all the way to the Volgograd region. The first such event is expected as early as the night of March 20.
According to scientists, a sharp increase in the solar wind—its density and speed—will signal the onset of a geomagnetic storm. This will indicate that the first ejection of solar material has reached Earth.
On March 16, a solar flare of the penultimate class occurred, lasting 32 minutes. Three days earlier, scientists released footage of the ejection of a giant solar prominence. The plasma structure, they specified, was approximately 1 million km in size, three times the distance from Earth to the Moon.
