On November 7, 2024, the Sun unleashed a powerful plasma ejection, an event known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). These eruptions occur when the Sun’s magnetic field lines twist and snap, releasing vast amounts of charged particles into space. Depending on the direction of the ejection, such events can impact Earth's magnetic field, leading to auroras and potential disruptions in satellite communications. Scientists closely monitor these solar activities to better understand their impact on our planet and space weather.
