A solar storm could affect Earth this evening, causing possible disruptions to radio communications.

A solar eruption of category M 5.7 occurred in the region of sunspots AR4436 on May 10, triggering a coronal mass ejection (CME) that could hit the Earth's magnetic shield this evening.

This phenomenon could cause geomagnetic storms, disruptions in radio communications, and the appearance of auroras at high latitudes, according to information from Space.com and Agerpres. The eruption peaked at 13:39 GMT, and specialists emphasize that as the active region becomes more visible, the chances of major eruptions increase. Although most of the solar material is heading east, part of the plasma cloud could affect the Earth around May 13, causing a minor geomagnetic storm of category G1. Solar eruptions are classified on a scale from A to X, and the event on May 10 has already generated radio signal interruptions, affecting high-frequency communications.
