The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Thursday that a “strong geomagnetic storm watch” will stay intact for the remainder of Thursday until Friday after a significant coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun was observed.
The first portion of the “CME arrived at the NOAA DSCOVR spacecraft, about 1 million miles from Earth” on Wednesday at around 9 p.m. ET, the agency said.
