Sun activity for November 27, 2023: Solar blast heading our way?
Today’s top news: It is a low sun activity day, but nobody told our
star that. It released a huge rope of plasma and magnetic field, a
filament, off into space, possibly heading our way. We await further analysis for confirmation of an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME).
If this CME is heading toward Earth, this could mean disturbances in
Earth’s magnetic field, geomagnetic storms, and more aurora. Stay tuned!

The Sun Today posted a spectacular footage of our Sun's energetic billowing (please watch via link given). One of those CMEs clocked a max of 1953 km/sec (7,030,800 km/hr).
