On October 16, a massive magnetic filament erupted on the Sun, specifically at the active sunspot AR3467, reports Spaceweather.com. The eruption led to a coronal mass ejection (CME), which involves the release of solar matter and plasma into space. The CME is not expected to directly hit Earth but a NASA model indicates it could sideswipe our planet, possibly causing a geomagnetic storm on October 19.
