>A massive solar eruption has triggered an emergency warning for a geomagnetic storm that could briefly affect power grids, satellites and communications across the northern US.
The alert, issued early Wednesday by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center, forecasts moderate to potentially strong geomagnetic activity through Thursday.
Such storms are caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field, which can force extra electricity through power lines and pipelines, sometimes causing brief voltage fluctuations.
The storm stems from a powerful solar flare on November 30, which sent a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurtling toward Earth at nearly 1.4 million miles per hour.
