Earth Braces for Destructive Solar Storms as Cannibal CMEs Continue to Strike

A coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun's surface is set to hit Earth today, with a 50% chance of disrupting satellites and a 10% risk of blackouts. The CME contains intense radiation that can interrupt technologies on Earth and is expected to cause a G1 geomagnetic storm that can disrupt satellites orbiting in the region of space. The eruption was captured by the European Space Agency's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Three coronal holes on the sun's surface face our planet, and seven sunspots have also been identified.
