Solar storm STRIKES Earth! Intensely charged CME smashes into our planet, sparks terrifying blackouts

[ad_1] When it comes to terrifying solar storms, the last 24-hour period has been one of the worst since March 2023. The solar storm was triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that was hurled towards the Earth's strike zone on September 18. There were speculations on whether it would hit the planet or not, but not only did it hit the Earth, it also arrived a day earlier than expected. Also, Earth was hit by multiple solar flare eruptions that caused severe radio blackouts. Know the full impact of this solar storm.According to a report by SpaceWeather.com, “Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from a fast-moving CME strike on Sept. 19th. The CME's arrival (a day earlier than expected) sparked a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm with auroras stretching from France to the West...

Beware! Earth can face a shocking CME storm today! Blackout danger looming over Earth

[ad_1] The Sun has thrown solar particles towards the Earth which can cause a powerful CME storm today. Know if it can cause radio blackouts. A couple of days ago, the Sun virtually exploded. A filament of magnetism erupted on the surface of our star and it shot up thousands of kilometers in the sky. It was spotted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) telescope DSCOVR and it reported that magnetized solar particles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CME) were thrown in the direction of the Earth. If our planet faces the full brunt of this CME storm, it can cause widespread blackouts, GPS disruptions and even make mobile phone and Internet networks temporarily inaccessible. Read on to know the likelihood of a CME storm and the consequences it can bring to E...

This dangerous CME storm will strike the Earth today; it’s different from a solar storm

[ad_1] A CME storm is will strike Earth today, says NOAA. Know how it is different from a solar storm and how it will affect us. The technologically marvellous DSCOVR satellite of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is doing a stellar job of predicting solar storms and other Sun-based threats well before they strike, giving us ample warning. This tech marvel measures temperature, speed, density, degree of orientation and frequency of the solar particles and watches out for any exploding sunspots or erupting solar flares that can be directed at the Earth. And according to its latest prediction a coronal mass ejection storm or CME storm is going to strike Earth today, September 24. The question that arise...

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 ...
