The Helio-Astronomy Laboratory statement read: "According to data from satellites located about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, at what is known as the first Lagrange point (L1) — the point on the Sun-Earth line where the gravitational forces between the two bodies are balanced — the first front of the plasma ejection, which left the Sun on November 9 following an X1.7 class solar flare, recently passed three satellites and is now on its way to Earth
Scientists noted that three plasma emissions are expected to reach Earth within the next 24 hours, gradually increasing in intensity, including the most powerful solar flare of the year, an X5.15 class flare, which occurred recently.
As for the effects of these emissions on Earth over the next 24 hours, they are far from certain and depend on several factors. Experts are particularly concerned about the third eruption, which is the fastest recorded so far during the current 25th solar cycle and could potentially have a very strong impact on Earth's magnetosphere.
According to the lab's experts, the overall outlook for the rest of the day remains uncertain, with one exception: the Earth will experience three successive waves of plasma collisions within 24 hours — a fact agreed upon by all mathematical models so far.
The lab had previously indicated that the plasma cloud resulting from several solar flares was expected to have the strongest impact on Earth during the current solar cycle on Wednesday, while the first and weakest impact of that cloud was expected to begin within the next few hours.
