What Happened to the Bird Wing Solar Eruption?
Today, many eagerly anticipated the arrival of the massive ‘bird wing’ solar eruption. This event was predicted to impact Earth, creating a spectacle in the sky. As the eruption’s tail moves past us, there remains a slight chance to witness the enchanting Northern Lights. Observers in parts of the UK might catch a glimpse of this celestial show on Friday night.
The solar eruption, often referred to as a coronal mass ejection, can influence Earth’s magnetic field. These events can lead to beautiful auroras, especially in higher latitudes. While the bird wing eruption’s tail is moving away from us, experts are still keeping an eye on its effects. The interaction between solar particles and Earth’s atmosphere creates stunning light displays that many people travel great distances to see.
