Solar activity has been on the rise ever since the start of the month. We have seen multiple solar flare eruptions and a couple of solar storms so far, but luckily they were not major events and their impact was very limited. However, in the last 24 hours, things have started to change. An M2.12-class solar flare erupted on the Sun, which in turn sparked a shortwave radio blackout on both the American continents. But that wasn't the worst incident of the day, as later, it was detected that a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud is headed for the the Solar Orbiter, the Sun-observing probe by the European Space Agency (ESA), and will strike it today, September 9. These events have raised concerns that an intense solar storm strike on the Earth is not too far away.
According to a report by SpaceWeather.com, “A farside halo CME is heading straight for the spacecraft. According to a NASA model, the CME will strike on Sept. 9th, giving Solar Orbiter's sensors an in situ view of the storm. The source of the blast was probably active sunspot AR3414, now transiting the farside of the Sun”.
Luckily, the Solar Orbiter is not in the line of sight of the Earth, and as such this CME is not likely to come close to our planet. Further, the Solar Orbiter is also not expected to get any damage considering the spacecraft was built keeping such incidents in mind, and there are multiple layers of protective sheets on the probe to protect it - to a certain extent.
On September 8, an M2.12-class solar flare erupted on the Sun, marking the most powerful activity in the last 72 hours, as per SpaceWeatherLive, which posted about it on its official X account. Soon, the same source reported a minor R1 radio blackout that struck the Pacific Ocean next to North and South America. But it was not the end of the consequences of this solar flare eruption.
Finally, Tamitha Skov, famous space weather physicist, posted on X revealing that a solar storm is likely to strike the Earth tomorrow or the day after. She said, “We may have another #solarstorm on the way! Region 3425 fires an M2-flare and partially launches a filament at the edge of the Earth-strike zone. Waiting for coronagraph imagery now to see if this #solarstorm might graze Earth. If so, impact could be late Sep 10 or early Sep 11”.

When it comes to terrifying solar storms, the last 24-hour period has been one of the worst since March 2023. The solar storm was triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that was hurled towards the Earth's strike zone on September 18. There were speculations on whether it would hit the planet or not, but not only did it hit the Earth, it also arrived a day earlier than expected. Also, Earth was hit by multiple solar flare eruptions that caused severe radio blackouts. Know the full impact of this solar storm.
