Strong Geomagnetic Storm Expected on Earth

A strong G3-class geomagnetic storm was expected to impact Earth following a solar eruption.

The storm was triggered by a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun. Scientists indicated that auroras could become visible at lower latitudes than usual. Such events can affect satellite communication, navigation systems and power infrastructure. Solar storms are important topics in science-related examinations.
