A duo of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is projected to combine into one "cannibal" CME before impacting Earth later today. The combo could potentially cause a very strong geomagnetic storm here on Earth.
NASA describes a CME as a magnetically generated solar phenomenon that can hurl billions of tons of solar...

The Sun unleashed a fury of cannibals toward Earth, but there is no need to worry about being eaten alive. It is actually a "cannibal coronal mass ejection" caused by solar eruptions discharging from a singular sunspot.
Sunspot AR2975 has been detonating flares of electrically charged particles from the sun since...
