According to the Center for Space Weather Forecasting, this geomagnetic storm is rated G1 out of five.

A cloud of dark plasma that erupted from the Sun over the weekend will reach Earth on Wednesday, August 17, leading to the possibility of a small geomagnetic storm. Newsweek reported it.

An ejection of matter known as a coronal mass ejection was ejected toward Earth on August 14 from a region of the Sun known as AR3076.

According to Spaceweather, which monitors solar activity, the plume of dark plasma moves at a speed of more than two million kilometers per hour. It is expected that at this speed, the distance from the Sun to the Earth will take several days.

It has been noted that some of these outbreaks can affect the operation of electrical systems, increase the resistance of satellites, and cause the occurrence of a polar seeding in parts of the world where they are rarely observed. For example, in American states such as Michigan and Maine. The effect of CMEs on Earth is called geomagnetic storms.

The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) forecasts the storm to be a G1 storm, the weakest possible mark on the geomagnetic storm scale, reaching G5. G1 class geomagnetic storms are common, sometimes occurring several times a month. For most people on Earth, their consequences are imperceptible.

It was previously reported that French astronomers, using new data from the Gaia space telescope, have mapped the life of the Sun.
