Solar flare eruptions set to reach Earth

Posted on May 15, 2011 by admin

“Our current view is that the effect of the solar flare is likely to reach Earth later today Thursday GMT, possibly tomorrow morning,” said Alan Thomson, head of geomagnetism at the British Geological Survey BGS.

He told BBC News: “In the scientific community, there’s a feeling that it’s not as intense as we first thought it might be. But it’s possible still that it could be a large enough event for us to see the northern lights in the UK.”
