Summary
A photograph of the space laboratory SKYLAB, taken on June 10, 1973, was used to analyse the causes of the generation of the geomagnetic storm which occured after the CMP of a region, related to an eastern coronal stream. It was found that our assumptions about the existence of a coronal stream above the prominences, distributed along the meridian, as well as the densification of the formation above unstable effects, were proved. The agreement between reality and forecasts of geomagnetic activity constitutes further proof thereof. It was also found that the coronal formation lasted over several rotations, a fact with which we usually reckon under certain circumstances.
