On Tuesday night the sun erupted. Scientists say
that the solar flare will hit earth at approximately 7 am on Thursday. The scientists
also say that the flare is growing as it gets further away from the sun, and
closer to the sun. The solar storm will last though Friday morning, and after
this they think that there could be more because of how it looks. There is
another set of "sunspots" ready to hit earth after this one. It is
predicted that the particles from this blast will hit earth at 4 million miles
per hour. Because of this storm the northern lights will be noticeable Thursday
night, but there will be a full moon so they will be harder to see because of
the light. Even though these are pretty, there are more wide spread problems
with this. This could mess with magnetic fields and radio, and also radiation
emissions, and it can effect power grids.
