CME was ejected towards the Earth during a " Its source was the sunspot AR3076. Moving at a speed of over 600 kilometers per second, the plume led to a coronal mass ejection. Observations made using the SOHO observatory showed that the CME component is directed towards the Earth and can lead to a weak or moderate magnetic storm on August 17.

Magnetic storms are disturbances of the Earth's geomagnetic field that can last from several hours to several days and have different intensities.. They affect the operation of communication systems, can cause technical failures.

Magnetic storms can also affect the condition of the elderly and weather-dependent people. So, a person may experience headache, dizziness, nausea, irritability, insomnia, muscle pain, and so on..

Earlier, scientists said that increased solar activity is causing satellites orbiting the Earth to deviate from their orbits.. According to researchers, the situation will only get worse in the future..
