On Sunday, March 23, the ground was covered by a powerful geomagnetic storm of G3 level. Scientists predict that this can cause the polar glow to the south than usual.
The sun was highly active-on Friday and Saturday (March 21-22), several flashes of class M and C were recorded on its surface. In addition, a coronal hole was formed in the sun, which also had a plasma release. The combination of several flows of the solar wind has led to the fact that the Earth was influenced by a significant flow of charged particles, which caused a storm of G3 level.
Geomagnetic storms of this level can cause: radio interruptions and navigation systems. Failure in energy systems. Bright polar glows far beyond the polar regions. Scientists expect that on the evening of March 23, the polar glow can be visible in the middle latitudes, much south than usual. This is due to the fact that during the solar maximum, the activity of our star increases, and therefore the glow becomes brighter and covers wider territories.
If you are in a region with minimal light contamination - do not miss the opportunity to see a rare atmospheric phenomenon!
