[Regnum] The magnetic storm on Earth has reached its peak; auroras can be observed in the southern regions of Russia. This was reported on May 11 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS).
Experts noted that the fastest clouds of plasma ejected by the Sun during a powerful flare reached the Earth. The speed of the solar wind reaches 1000 km/s.
“The magnetic storm is passing through its peak. Field fluctuations have returned to extreme values of the fifth level,” the report says.
| We had all our batteries charged, just in case, but I didn’t notice anything untoward. Oh well. |
The auroras over Russia will be even more powerful, their oval may descend to the southern borders of the country, the laboratory added.
As IA Regnum reported, on May 11, the Earth was covered by a magnetic storm of the fifth, highest level, which has not happened since September 11, 2005. Over the course of three days, from May 7 to May 9, the Sun ejected four clouds of plasma of exceptional size towards the Earth.
Leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Mikhail Leus, noted that the peak of storm activity would occur on May 11. The total duration of a magnetic storm can be from 20 to 40 hours. In Russia, the zone where auroras are observed has expanded. In particular, crimson flashes in the sky were captured on cameras by residents of the Rostov region.
Roscosmos stated that solar flares and geomagnetic storms will not require correction of the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS), it is operating normally.
