If this explosion had occurred 2 weeks ago when the\u00a0huge sunspot<\/a>\u00a0was facing Earth, we would be predicting strong geomagnetic storms in the days ahead. Instead, the CME is racing away from our planet … and directly toward Mars. Compared to Earth, the Red Planet is currently on the opposite side of the sun, and apparently in the crosshairs of this CME. Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity might be observing the effects of a solar storm later this week.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
