[Regnum] On Monday, a cloud of solar plasma reached the Earth, a magnetic storm did not occur, although its occurrence cannot be ruled out. This was announced on October 28 by the Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"The second 'promised' plasma cloud reached Earth in the morning. The ejection front was quite sharp, and for this reason the moment of arrival was measured quite accurately - around 07:15 Moscow time," the publication says.
Scientists added that the probability of a magnetic storm is high, since the impact from the plasma cloud is strong.
"There is no storm yet (the Earth's magnetic field is holding up), although the impact is generally strong, despite the fact that the impact is coming from the edge. However, it is unlikely that this "strength" will last the entire day, so we will most likely announce a storm in a while," the laboratory reported.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Earth's magnetosphere may be rocked by the solar wind. The Phobos weather center announced on October 15 that the Earth will pass through a stream of fast solar wind, as a result of which weak disturbances in the geomagnetic field are expected.
