A solar magnetic filament erupted on November 27 (~05:00 UT), carving a "canyon of fire" in the sun's atmosphere. The filament caused a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space.

Fortunately, most of the storm cloud will likely pass to the south of Earth.

However, a NASA model (shown below) suggests it will brush against our planet's magnetic field on November 30, potentially triggering a G1-class geomagnetic storm.

Since this first eruption, two more have been detected.
