Powerful magnetic storm hits the planet
The strongest magnetic storm that began on Sunday continues on Earth. According to the Institute of Applied Geophysics, on Monday its power reached G4, which is considered a very strong level. The magnetic storm, the strongest in several years, was the result of a coronal mass ejection from a solar flare. The degree of perturbation of the Earth's magnetic field has reached the G4 scale. The extreme level is G5. It began on Sunday and caused auroras in unusual places. In particular, bright northern lights were observed in Saint Petersburg, flashes were noticed in the sky above Moscow and in many regions of Russia. At any noticeable disturbance of the magnetic field of the Earth can be observed aurora borealis. At the level of G4 northern lights can be seen even in the tropics.
