A surge of
plasma is headed toward Earth with speeds ranging between 429-575 km/s.

The plasma
emerged from a
dead sunspot, AR2987,
which suddenly became active.

The solar flare
is expected to cause
a moderate geomagnetic storm, likely triggering auroras and radio blackouts.

The impact
could last until
April 15, causing issues in some weak power grids.
