‘Full Halo’ CME Blasts Off the Sun, Impacting Earth Friday or Saturday

“(TheWeatherSpace.com) – A M1-Class solar flare erupted from the Sun on Wednesday, producing what is called a full-halo CME blast.

A full-halo CME blast is when the blast is aimed nearly in the direction of the planet. There have been times where we get into the middle of the halo and get nothing but a minor geomagnetic storm, and TheWeatherSpace.com’s Kevin Martin has the answer.

‘During our weather on Earth, the center of the storm is usually the calmest, the eye,’ explained Martin. ‘CME blast’s sides are where the dense material is and affects us more. This blast was not directly at us, but the dense sides will hit us Friday or Saturday, making for a strong geomagnetic and aurora event.’

So if you live where the Northern Lights are seen, even on a rare basis, this could be the time to shine. TheWeatherSpace will inform you when it hits and you can go outside to see them.” Read more.
