Solar Storm Alert: G1 Geomagnetic Storm In Progress - Huge Prominence Eruption On the SE Limb

A CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on April 19th at approximately 05:00 UT. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been predominantly pointing south the past several hours. A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm is now in progress. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. A very large prominence eruption observed on the SE limb beginning at around 19/04:00 UTC however, the associated CME is not Earth-directed. #solarstorm #CME #prominence Images credit: NOAA/SWPC, AIA/SDO, SOHO/LASCO, nemesis maturity channel, Music credit: YouTube Audio Library
