The event, called a coronal mass ejection, or CME, while not occurring as frequently as solar flares, is still a common phenomenon.it is still a common phenomenon. This time, however, rather than projecting out into space, it’s headed straight for Earth. Given the direction and speed of the CME, Science World Report explains, mild to moderate effects may be felt as soon as Sunday. When a CME strikes the Earth, the traveling body of solar energetic particles can – on rare occasion – causes a significant enough geomagnetic storm to disrupt the Earth’s magnetosphere. Results may include stronger aurorae around the Earth’s magnetic poles, disruption of radio transmissions and even damage to satellites and electrical transmission facilities, which could cause power outages.
