Today, on September 3, Earth is anticipated to encounter a solar storm. According to information from Spaceweather.com, two coronal mass ejections (CME) are projected to influence Earth’s atmosphere.

“One CME is definitely heading for Earth, and there might be two. The first CME left the sun on August 30 following a “canyon of fire” magnetic filament eruption. Although the CME is faint, there is no question it is heading our way. The second CME is less certain to hit Earth but more potent,” the report stated.

Although the impact is not anticipated to be significant, the combined effect of these CMEs may result in geomagnetic storms, as stated in the report, NDTV reported.

As noted in the report, NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected a bright yellow flash emanating from the Sun on September 1.
