A fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) -- a powerful burst of magnetized plasma from the sun's corona -- erupted from the sun on Tuesday night, prompting NOAA's Space Prediction Center to issue a rare G4 geomagnetic storm watch, indicating "detrimental impacts" to critical technology and possible widespread voltage control problems, according to NOAA. The CME is expected to cause a moderate solar storm here on Earth on Thursday and Friday, according to NOAA.
