Sergey Bugtenchev, director of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute, warned that the solar flare that occurred on May 29 could lead to a moderate-intensity magnetic storm on Earth.
The flare, which emanated from solar region 3664 (now bearing the new number 3697), will impact Earth directly, Bogtenchev said, adding: “The flare resulted in the ejection of a large mass of plasma, which is an interesting event, although the flare occurred at an angle of about 70 A degree of direction towards the Earth, but the opening of the cone into which the plasma clouds were ejected exceeds this angle.”
Bogtenchev explained, “The video clips clearly show that the mass is directed at the satellite that is filming it, that is, in fact, at the Earth, and it is possible that the cloud will reach the Earth on Friday/Saturday night, that is, the night of May 31/June 1.”
According to the expert, the magnetic storm may last from 10 to 20 hours, and its intensity is expected to be from G2 to G3, which means it will be of medium intensity.
Bugtenchev pointed out that it is expected to see the aurora borealis on Friday evening as a result of this magnetic storm.
