MinYoongi Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi guys. Noaa and Nasa predict a CME hit today wih G1 possible at mid latitude. Is it something to be scared off? Like a devastating hit ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher S. Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 You should check the Forecast Discussion whenever you read about a CME. It will give good enough detail about what to expect! https://www.spaceweatherlive.com/en/reports/forecast-discussion In summary, it's going to be just active enough for high latitude aurora watchers to potentially get a good few photos for the next night or two, but no more so than that. A lot of the urgency you may see in NOAA/NASA reports pertains to potential satellite impacts such as charging, degradation, or noise on sensors. A G1 is by no means devastating, don't worry.

Marcel de Bont Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Like Christopher says, a G1 geomagnetic storm is just a minor geomagnetic storm. Nothing to be scared of, these kind of storms can happen like every other day at solar maximum! We actually posted a bit about this CME on our Facebook page, it looks like it missed our planet.
