A strong M2.8-class solar flare has been recorded on the Sun, according to a report by RIA Novosti, citing the Solar Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Scientists noted that the flare was accompanied by a plasma ejection directed toward Earth.
At the moment, there is no precise information about the speed of the gas cloud moving toward our planet. However, researchers estimate that the plasma cloud could reach Earth in approximately two days.
Solar flares and plasma ejections can sometimes lead to geomagnetic disturbances, which may affect satellite communications, navigation systems, and power grids, as well as increase the likelihood of auroras.
