Strong Solar Flare and Magnetic Filament Expected to Reach Earth on June 8
A solar eruption from Active Region 4461 produced an M1.8-class flare and a dense, fast-moving magnetic filament traveling at about 1,400 km/s toward Earth. Expected to arrive on June 8, 2026, this event has prompted NASA and the US Space Weather Prediction Centre to issue a watch for a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. The storm may cause temporary disturbances in Earth's magnetic field and produce visible auroras in northern India, Europe, and Australia, depending on the magnetic orientation of the solar material.
