Terrible solar storm targets several planets including Earth; All you need to know

Half of the planets in our Solar System are currently facing threats posed by the Sun. Most recently, on 20 June, a powerful X1.1 class solar flare occurred, marking it as one of the most significant eruptions seen in 2023.

Following the eruption of the solar flare, North America experienced a temporary disruption of wireless communications due to a shortwave radio blackout. This inhibition persisted for approximately 30 min after the initial flare event.

Following the solar flare, NASA detected the release of a substantial coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud. This CME, identified as a Type II solar flare, has significant strength and poses a significant threat.

It has the potential to generate dangerous solar storms. Fortunately, its primary targets are Venus and Mars, but there’s still the possibility that Earth could be hit by the less direct effects of this formidable CME.

According to a report on Spaceweather.com, it is expected that the coronal mass ejection (CME) will directly affect Venus and Mars, while Earth may get a jolt. An impact on Venus is estimated to have resulted in the erosion of a small portion of its upper atmosphere.

Furthermore, the report highlights that Mars will directly hit the CME, which will lead to a solar storm on June 25. The Martian aurora resulting from this phenomenon can be observed using several satellites orbiting Mars.

Similar results are expected for Mars, the planet also experiencing the effects of a solar storm. The resulting auroras on Mars are expected to be remarkably brilliant, to such an extent that even a satellite orbiting the planet would have the opportunity to see them. Yes, now just waiting for the pictures.
