Stealth Coronal Mass Ejection (CME):

Astronomers have linked an intense geomagnetic storm that struck Earth in March 2023 to a Stealth Coronal Mass Ejection (CME)—a faint solar eruption with no obvious warning signals.Stealth Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are solar eruptions that lack clear low-coronal signatures, such as solar flares, X-ray bursts, or strong radio emissions.Unlike typical CMEs, they appear optically weak or invisible in standard solar observations, yet can still travel to Earth and trigger severe geomagnetic storms.
