A strong magnetic storm has begun on Earth

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] On the evening of September 12, a magnetic storm of level G2 began on Earth. Then it increased to level G3. This was reported by the solar astronomy laboratory of the IKI and ISTP RAS.

G1 storms are considered to be the weakest, while G3 storms are strong storms that cause disruptions to satellite navigation and radio communications.

The geomagnetic situation began to change at about 06:00 Moscow time. The solar wind speed increased sharply from 350 to 450 km/s. Around midday, the solar wind was already blowing at a speed of 530 km/s and a weak magnetic storm began, then its level increased to G3.

As reported by IA Regnum, earlier scientists predicted with almost 100% probability that a new plasma cloud would hit the Earth on September 12. Calculations showed the arrival of solar matter around 22:00 Moscow time. The peak of the storm is expected at 03:00 - 04:00 Moscow time, when the dense core of the cloud reaches the planet. A high probability of polar lights, including in mid-latitudes, cannot be ruled out.

#1 Sun fires off X-class solar flare, increasing aurora viewing chances into weekend

Wonder what that's done for our space walkers.

#3 Is all this solar activity part of climate change cooling or climate change warming?

#5 We're watching the outcome of past events.

A rough estimate is of order 10,000 years for a photon packet to go from center to photosphere of the Sun

so slightly slower motion than a man when asked by his wife to take out the garbage.

#6 P2K...I'm offended that you over generalize the laziness of the male of the species. I religiously take out the garbage every year! Speaking of male, do trans pseudo-males exhibit this tendency or is it strictly an XY thing?

#7 Have you ever heard about the correlation between solar activity and large earthquakes?

Here's the paper: linky

Conclusion: This paper gives... strongly statistically significant, evidence for a high correlation between large worldwide earthquakes and the proton density near the magnetosphere, due to the solar wind.

#8 mossomo - interesting.

One has turned invisible, one stretchy, one of rock, and one of fire, and the billionaire has become a master of dark magic.

#10 Thanks Mo.
Great paper, good abstract, strong claim:

The significance of such correlation is very high, with probability to be wrong lower than 10–5.
