Heightened solar activity has prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a geomagnetic storm watch for July 24.
CMEs carry with them electrically charged atoms known as ions, when CMEs collide with Earth's magnetosphere they can trigger geomagnetic storms. During geomagnetic storms the ions collide with gases inGeomagnetic storms are classified by NOAA using a G-scale to measure the intensity of geomagnetic storms. They range from G5, the most extreme class to G1 minor class storms. The recent geomagnetic storm watch issued by NOAA is currently classified as a G2-class.
Like weather on Earth, space weather is a fickle creature and difficult to predict. Geomagnetic storm warnings like this are not uncommon and in some cases, they fizzle to nothing. As we get closer to July 24A G2 Watch is in effect for 24 July due to the likely arrival of a halo CME that erupted on 21 July.Though aurora chasers will be willing on the arrival of the CME and have everything crossed for a direct hit, this isn't a sentiment shared by all..
Astronauts also receive a higher dose of radiation during a CME event compared to if they were on Earth, though they are still mostly protected by the magnetosphere and shielded by theto keep talking space on the latest missions, night sky and more!
