[Regnum] On Earth, after the passage of a plasma cloud recently ejected by the Sun, a magnetic storm of almost maximum level began. This was reported on September 17 by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"After 10 hours of being in the peripheral regions of the solar plasma cloud, the planet was finally caught by the core of the ejecta. A jump in the parameters of the surrounding cosmic gas was recorded at approximately 01:30 Moscow time, and the most significant changes occurred at approximately 04:30 in the morning," the laboratory's website said.
It is specified that ground magnetometers registered this as the beginning of a magnetic storm of level 3.66 (almost four points on a five-point scale) and it is currently continuing, although it should not be long-lasting, because the main masses of plasma have already passed by the Earth.
Due to a magnetic storm in the Western Hemisphere, very strong auroras are observed, which are visible throughout Canada and the northern states of the United States.
“There is no auroral zone in the Eastern Hemisphere (including Russia),” the report adds.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, on September 16, the head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the IKI RAS, Sergei Bogachev, said that in the 21st century, the solar activity cycle has increased, contrary to scientists' forecasts. In his opinion, the Sun could have entered a new 100-year growth cycle, but this hypothesis can only be confirmed by observing the luminary for a year.
In mid-August, five powerful solar flares occurred, one of which was of the highest class X. During the last one, a disruption of HF radio communications was observed.
On August 6, the Sun experienced two powerful flares of the highest class, preceded by a series of medium-sized explosions that occurred at the edge of the solar disk. According to experts, the star appears to be entering a continuous activity mode.
