Solar Flare or Solar Tsunami or Solar Storm – Watch it Tonight

This would be one of a kind — a Solar Flare or Solar Tsunami or Solar Storm will light up the skies on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The Sun’s surface erupted early Sunday morning, blasting tons of plasma into interplanetary space — directly towards the Earth. That wall of ionized atoms should hit the planet tonight, say scientists, creating a geomagnetic storm and a spectacular light show and possibly threatening satellites
in orbit.

The solar eruption, called a coronal mass ejection, was spotted by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which captures high-definition views of the sun at a variety of wavelengths. SDO was launched in February and peers deep into the layers of the sun, investigating the mysteries of its inner workings.

What time is the sun storm? No time has been released but skywatchers in the northern U.S. mainland are being told they can look toward the north Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for rippling “curtains” of green and red light.
