Scientists reveal consequences of largest solar mass ejection this year

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Scientists have recorded the largest mass ejection on the Sun this year, which could lead to strong magnetic storms. This was reported on May 31 by Sergei Bogachev, head of the solar astronomy laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“The power of the emission is inferior to similar events last year in May, which led to storms of level 5, but, tentatively, it could lead to the largest series of magnetic storms this year with peak values up to G4 (the class preceding the highest fifth point),” the specialist explained.

He added that calculations show an exceptionally high plasma speed. According to scientists' forecast, solar matter may approach the Earth late in the evening of June 1.

Bogachev specified that the emission occurred as a result of a strong solar flare of level M8.2, which was recorded at 03:05 Moscow time in active region No. 4100. The scientist explained that it is located in the center of the visible disk of the Sun, practically on the Sun-Earth line.

According to him, this situation excludes the possibility that the ejected material will pass by the Earth.
