Courtesy of NASA NASA experts say satellites and power grids could be disrupted in the next few days because of a coronal mass ejection. The solar eruption, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), occurred at 4:24 a.m. EDT (0824 GMT) Tuesday and blasted billions of tons of solar particles toward Earth at a mind-boggling speed of 2 million mph (3.3 million km/h) The CME is formed when a massive burst of particles are released into space. Officials say they aren’t rare but ones that hurtle toward Earth can cause major issues.
