TL;DR

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned that Earth will be hit by a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud today, resulting in a geomagnetic storm. This comes after a period of relative calm where Earth avoided three CME hits. Researchers are concerned about the potential impact on satellites and wireless communication infrastructure. While the storm is expected to be of a minor G1-class, it could still cause radio blackouts and disrupt GPS signals. NOAA monitors solar storms using its DSCOVR satellite to gather data for analysis.
