| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A large coronal hole has begun to form on the Sun, threatening to provoke strong magnetic storms on Earth. This was reported on August 15 by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences in its Telegram channel. "A large coronal hole [an area on the Sun where the solar wind flow is weakened] has been growing on the Earth-facing side of the Sun for several days. Over the past 24 hours, its area and size have grown particularly rapidly, increasing by about 50% in 24 hours," the publication states. The laboratory also specified that the speed of the solar wind in the vicinity of the Earth under the influence of this coronal hole will begin to increase on Monday, August 18, and within a few days may reach an unusually high level, exceeding the usual indicators by 2.5 times. According to scientists, unstable geomagnetic conditions are expected on Earth throughout the next week. Earlier, it was reported that the magnetic storm, which lasted on Earth for more than 30 hours, had ended. According to scientists, no strong disturbances in the Earth's magnetosphere are expected in the next few days, and after that, the situation will depend on the activity of solar flares, which is currently at a high level. |
