The coronal mass ejection emerged from the corpse of old sunspot AR2987 hurling debris directly toward Earth.

Footage of the Northern Lights was captured by Spencer Dant who was flying over Alaska.

The geomagnetic storm heading towards Earth was from a solar storm that occurred on Sunday. A geomagnetic storm is traveling toward Earth and is expected to hit the planet either on Wednesday, April 6, or Thursday, April 7.

NASA has dropped a video that explains the difference between solar flares and coronal mass ejections, two eruptions from the Sun.

The geomagnetic storm heading towards the Earth will be a minor one, according to NOAA. It was generated by solar activity on March 3.

A 12,000 mile-long canyon of fire has opened up on the surface of the Sun, causing a charged blast to be shot towards Earth.

The latest source of the eruption is a location dubbed the canyon of fire, which is a dark filament of magnetism that has opened up in the sun's atmosphere.

According to the Space Weather Prediction Center of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Earth will be slammed by a geomagnetic storm on Wednesday and Thursday. It will, however, be a modest one, according to NOAA, which has classified it as G1. G1 to G5 are the several types of geomagnetic storms, with G5 being the most powerful. On March 3, a coronal mass ejection from a 25-degree-long filament lifted off the sun, according to NOAA. 

The storm is linked to a solar flare that occurred on the evening of March 28, and an associated coronal mass ejection (CME) that launched solar plasma towards the Earth.

Northern lights lit up Saskatchewans skies on Wednesday night, as photographers jumped at the opportunity to document the aurora.
