Solar storm heading towards Earth

Message from the European Space Agency's missions monitoring the Sun:

 

"S.O.S! STOP. S.O.S! STOP. SOHO has detected a solar storm towards Earth. STOP. Take cover! STOP. "

 

Solar Orbiter has confirmed that the storm is coming to Earth. How long do we have to take cover? Help us!

In this scientific challenge you will discover what kind of material the Sun is sending into space and the impact it has on the Earth. Also, by observing the images from the SOHO satellite we will obtain information about the solar ejections, so we can know when they will arrive to Earth. Can we count on you?
