Brief retelling from RIA II

The cloud of plasma ejected by the Sun will reach Earth on Friday morning and cause magnetic storms.

The intensity of magnetic storms will remain within the moderate G2 level, their duration will be from 10 to 12 hours.

The growth of active regions on the Sun has stopped, which led to a decrease in the power of flares to level “C”.

MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. The cloud of plasma ejected by the Sun will reach the Earth on Friday morning and cause magnetic storms, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported.

“The plasma cloud ejected by the Sun yesterday in the middle of the day, according to calculations, will spend almost three days on its way to the Earth and will arrive on the planet on Friday morning. The impact on the Earth, as expected, will launch the entire traditional chain of space weather phenomena - from magnetic storms to auroras,” says a message published on the laboratory’s Telegram channel.

According to scientists' forecast, the intensity of the storms will remain within the moderate G2 level, their duration will be from 10 to 12 hours.

Astronomers noted that the growth of active regions on the Sun has stopped, which led to a sharp decrease in the power of the observed flares.
