Solar particles heading towards Earth, possibility of geomagnetic storms and auroras over the weekend
2026-11-09 12:00:00 / MISTERE&KURIOZITETE
A stream of charged particles from a coronal hole on the Sun is heading toward Earth, increasing the possibility of G1 and G2-level geomagnetic storms over the weekend. The phenomenon could trigger the appearance of the aurora borealis in the planet's northern regions, while also having minor impacts on radio communications, satellites and electrical systems.
Coronal holes are not actual openings on the Sun's surface, but areas where the plasma is less dense and the magnetic field allows easier escape of the solar wind, a stream of particles that travels through space.
When these particles reach Earth and interact with its magnetic field, they can create geomagnetic storms. According to NOAA's scale, they are classified from G1, with low intensity, to G5, with extreme intensity. In the current case, forecasts focus on levels G1 and G2, but a G2 storm remains only a possibility and not a certainty.
The most spectacular effect may be the appearance of the aurora borealis, created by the interaction of solar particles with gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its colors, mainly green, red, blue and purple, depend on the type of gas and the altitude at which these interactions occur.
However, the phenomenon is not considered a serious threat to everyday life, but a natural event that can bring special sights to the skies of the northernmost regions of the Earth.
