ejection

After Bellew's ejection, the news conference quickly turned into a one-man show.

This time around there is only one coronal mass ejection and experts believe the duration of the event will be much shorter.

The category G4 watch from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center — the second such alert issued this year — warns of the possibility of a solar flare for Thursday and Friday, with a resulting coronal mass ejection from the sun that could disturb Earth’s electromagnetic field.

A sunspot group erupted Tuesday night that gave signs of a strong release of solar material and embedded magnetic fields, also known as a coronal mass ejection, which causes geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth, according to the prediction center.

The coronal mass ejection is predicted to reach the satellites Thursday morning, Eastern time.
