Earlier "Glavred" reported that magnetic storm began at 15:00 in Kiev and at the end of the day will only increase, reaching 5 points on an 8-point scale.

According to the latest data, the cloud of particles ejected moving toward Earth at a speed of 1200 km / sec. The first electromagnetic disturbances in the atmosphere of our planet can be tomorrow morning. According to experts, the event occurred on the Sun would be more correct to call is not flash, and coronal mass ejections, the center of which was fixed a small outbreak of C-class.
