MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

By Mike Wall – “Particles ejected by recent solar storms are due to slam into Earth over the next few days, possibly causing super-charged northern lights displays and temporary radio blackouts in some areas, experts say.

On Monday (Dec. 26), the sun unleashed a massive eruption of solar plasma known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME’s fast-moving charged particles should squarely strike Earth’s magnetic field at about 3:20 p.m. EST (2020 GMT) Wednesday, give or take seven hours, according to the website Spaceweather.com.

The particles from another CME could deliver a glancing blow to our planet a few hours earlier on Wednesday, Spaceweather.com reported.

The two impacts will likely spawn minor and/or moderate geomagnetic storms at high latitudes on Wednesday and Thursday. If they’re powerful enough, geomagnetic storms can temporarily disrupt GPS signals, radio communications and power grids.

‘Category G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are expected 28 and 29 December due to multiple coronal mass ejection arrivals,’ the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center wrote in an update Tuesday (Dec. 27). ‘R1 (Minor) radio blackouts are expected until 31 December.'” Read more.
