Ahead of solar eclipse, fast-moving solar winds to spark a powerful solar storm today on Earth

[ad_1] Yesterday, it was reported that a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) was forming near the magnetosphere of the Earth due to the intermixing of slow and fast-moving solar winds. The situation is set to worsen today, October 13, as fresh solar winds escaping from a worm-like coronal hole will soon strike the Earth and trigger a powerful solar storm event. This event is expected to take place just before the annular solar eclipse occurs in the early hours of October 14.The information comes from two different sources. First is SpaceWeather.com which reported, “A stream of solar wind is expected to reach Earth later today… The gaseous material is flowing ~500 km/s from a narrow hole in the sun's atmosphere. Its arrival could spark geomagnetic unrest and auroras around the Arctic Ci...

The Sun has a weapon to destroy Earth and it is called the CME storm

[ad_1] Earth has a nemesis from the Sun and it’s called the CME storm or CME induced solar storm. The Sun has been increasingly blasting powerful solar storms towards the Earth ever since the beginning of 2022. And this will continue till 2023 when it reaches the peak of its solar maximum phase and that poses a big problem for Earth. While the majority of these storms have been largely harmless, some of them have had devastating consequences for us. Earlier this year, 40 Starlink satellites were destroyed by a solar storm and these days they regularly disrupt shortwave radio transmission and GPS functioning. These solar storms, which cause noticeable damage to Earth, are called CME storms or coronal mass ejection storms. But ...

Fiery solar winds heading for Earth! Dangerous solar storm to hit tomorrow; this tech tracks the terror

[ad_1] According to NOAA, a powerful solar storm can strike the Earth tomorrow, September 17, as fast moving solar winds are creating a CIR (Co-rotating interaction zone) on our planet’s magnetosphere. The Earth has been suffering multiple solar storms as a result of coronal mass ejection (CME) bursts on the Sun. Luckily, these solar storms so far have been minor to moderate and we have escaped any major catastrophe. However, the solar storm 2022 story is not over by any stretch of the imagination. A very unique type of solar storm is likely to hit the Earth tomorrow, September 17, which can prove to be dangerous. Unlike the solar storms which are caused by solar flare eruptions and CME bursts, this one is being caused due to...
