Magnetic storms may cover the Earth on Wednesday

      In the near future, magnetic storms may begin on Earth due to a large coronal hole formed in the Sun, Kommersant reports, citing scientists at the RAS laboratory.

      The laboratory's tg channel says that "the current location of the hole in the center of the visible disk already allows it to affect the Earth." "In fact, the streams of fast solar wind will reach the Earth only in two or three days," the RAS laboratory said in a statement.

      Scientists noted that it would not be possible to completely avoid the effects of a magnetic storm. But "Earth's expected response to the impact is highly uncertain." Scientists noted that in previous cases, the appearance of large holes in the Sun could lead to strong magnetic storms, but often passed without consequences for our planet.
