| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The magnetic storm that began on Earth on Sunday, August 4, has ended. This follows from the schedule of the solar astronomy laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences on August 5. According to these data, the storm almost reached the G3 level (strong) from 15:00 Moscow time to 21:00 on August 4, after which it began to weaken. According to scientists, the magnetic storm began at around 11:00 Moscow time on August 4, when a cloud of plasma from a solar ejecta reached the Earth. "That began on Earth"? The degree of disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field is measured on a scale of five levels, in which G1 is the weakest disturbance and G5 is the most powerful magnetic storm. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Institute of Applied Geophysics reported earlier that a strong magnetic storm covered the Earth on the night of August 4-5. It was noted that the K-index of geomagnetic activity reached 6.67. Leading specialist of the Phobos center Mikhail Leus reported on July 30 that the magnetic storm that forecasters warned about had covered the Earth. The planet was expected to experience storms of average level G2. On May 11, Vladimir Kuznetsov, Director of the Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, reported a magnetic storm of the fifth, highest level, recorded for the first time in the last 20 years. Such storms have not been observed on Earth since September 11, 2005.
