From solar flares relatively moderate, class M (less than that of class X1 registered on October 28), in the active region AR2891 successively released squalls of particles into interplanetary space on Tuesday, November 2. These ejections of mass crown himCME for Coronal Mass Ejection, in English) from the face of the Sun is the closest star to Earth, from which it is about 150 million kilometers away. The Sun is located 8.5 kparsecs from the center of the Milky Way. In the star classification, the sun is a G2 type star.

And yet another spectacular halo CME directed towards Earth. This one was produced by AR 12981 near the central meridian and erupted just a few hours after a another large CME from AR 12887. Let’s hope that this one will produce more impressive aurorae than the Halloween storm. pic.twitter.com/IgybMzG0hL

A “cannibalistic CME” at the gates of Earth
A scenario was unleashed on Earth with “cannibalistic CME” which had been anticipated by the models of meteorology space data for the hours following the observed eruptions. The phenomenon of cannibalistic CME occurs when two or even three Wave and swell

The latest from the Sun, faster, has caught up with the previous squall, softer. Their union was in progress when they presented themselves to the doors of our world this Wednesday, November 3, around 8 p.m. UT, i.e. when it was 10 p.m. in France. Which triggered a geomagnetic storm of force G3, intense, and a cascade ofaurora who were out of the ordinary, as he had not seen in years, testified many amateurs, photographers and hunters accustomed to these celestial spectacles, visibly surprised by their beauty. Some say that after a relatively calm evening, they were surprised when they were about to go to bed by the night that had set ablaze above them! Finally, the night dragged on very late for them.
First time in my life I was actually able to make up the reds with my naked eyes last night in Skibotn, Norway! And it was just the arrival of the storm! pic.twitter.com/33ipmlb6Gi

Northern lights are out in NE MT!!! If you can get to a dark area, they are visible with the naked eye, even better with a camera! High clouds still over the region, but not totally hampering the view. Enjoy!! pic.twitter.com/jPiBDvjsvP
