"Solar Storm Alert: Massive Eruption Sends CME Towards Earth, Expect Spectacular Auroras"

A massive solar eruption on September 16 has launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) towards Earth, prompting the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to issue a G2-class moderate geomagnetic storm watch for September 19. If the CME arrives as expected, it could trigger a geomagnetic storm similar to the one on September 12, resulting in auroras and potential disruptions to radio communication. Scientists anticipate more extreme space weather events as the sun approaches its peak in the 11-year solar activity cycle.
