There was a flash in the sun: a magnetic storm covers the Earth

On May 9, an average strong flash was recorded in the sun. The event lasted for about 23 minutes and the solar particles were headed towards Earth. This was reported by The Watchers. Solar particle eruptions are accompanied by radio emission, which usually indicates a coronal mass ejection. A solar wind is expected from May 10. According to scientists, most of the solar particles pass through the Earth's orbit, but may move towards our planet. Any events associated with this solar flare are forecast to continue through May 11 and cause a magnetic storm. Magnetic storms in May - forecast 4 magnetic storms are expected in May. On May 23-25, there may be a three-day magnetic storm, but its strength will not exceed 4 points. On May 28, the last magnetic storm of the month is forecast, its strength is 5 points. It should be noted that such a long-term forecast of solar activity may not be accurate and may change.
