A large solar flare triggered a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that is expected to hit the Earth’s magnetic field Sunday evening and into the early morning hours of Monday.

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a “G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm watch” after a CME ejected from the Sun towards Earth on early Friday. The space weather event could produce geomagnetic storms impacting the 55th parallel north region. Countries affected include parts of Germany, Denmark, Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the US (Alaska), Canada, Ireland, and the UK.
