Mysterious STEVE appears after the STRONGEST solar storm in 6 years hits Earth

On March 23, a massive and powerful cloud of coronal mass ejections struck the Earth and caused a terrifying solar storm event that no one saw coming. Due to the cracks on the magnetic fields of Earth, the particles seeped into the upper atmosphere and sparked a G4-class geomagnetic storm. The storm caused radio blackouts, GPS disruptions and aurora displays. But it also triggered a very mysterious phenomenon called STEVE or Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement. The phenomenon flashed a bright stream of light across the sky which was not like any aurora even seen.The phenomenon was also reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted in the March 25 entry of its website, “STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) looks like an aurora, but it is not. The phenomenon is caused...

Large Hole on the Sun EXPLODES! Powerful solar storms on Earth coming tomorrow

A large hole on the Sun, also known as a coronal hole, has exploded resulting in throwing coronal mass ejections towards the Earth. A powerful solar storm can take place tomorrow, September 4. Scientists have warned that a powerful solar storm will be striking the Earth on September 4. In the last few days, the geomagnetic disturbances were on the lower end with only a couple of minor solar storms hitting the planet. But that is about to change as a large, dark hole on the surface of the Sun has exploded. This structure is known as a coronal hole and has a distinct dark color to it, indicating a very strong magnetic field. This unstable hole has erupted and thrown coronal mass ejections (CME) towards the Earth. With these so...

The Sun nears its scary Solar Cycle peak, DESTRUCTIVE solar storm is on the cards

In 2023, the Sun will enter the solar maximum phase of its solar cycle. This is the peak of its volatility in this period when it is at its most unstable. That means multiple sunspots are expected to explode simultaneously during this period. This can result in a killer solar storm strike on Earth. In the last few days, the frequency of solar storms has increased, although their intensity remains low. As a result, these solar storms have not done any real damage on Earth except generate auroras in the northern sky mostly and temporarily blocking radio communications. However, a terrifying development can soon change all that. The Sun is approaching the peak of its 11-year long solar cycle, the solar maximum, in 2023. As it ...
