Glancing Blow CME to Hit Earth’s Magnetic Field on Sunday Feb. 4th

Yesterday, Feb. 1st, a filament of magnetism in the sun’s northern hemisphere erupted, hurling a CME into space. Most of the CME will sail north of our planet, but not all. A NOAA’s model predicts a glancing blow on Sunday, Feb. 4th. The impact could spark a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm with auroras at high latitude. Double eruption from Region 3571 at 15:21 on February 2, 2024. Any associated CME with these eruptions won’t be Earth directed. Stay Tuned!
