Huge sunspot set to Explode! X-class solar flare likely to cause blackouts on Earth today

[ad_1] Sunspot AR3112 is on the verge of explosion. There is a possibility of an x-class solar flare eruption today that can cause radio blackouts on Earth. This week has been scary for Earth and latest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) projections suggest that it is going to get a lot scarier. Just a couple of days ago, the USA suffered heavy radio blackouts due to an X1-class solar flare eruption on the Sun. The biggest effect was felt in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina where rescue operations and disaster management missions are being conducted in the wake of Hurricane Ian. The eruption resulted in GPS and radio waves being blocked and these operations being delayed by hours. Now, the Earth is looking at another solar flare eruption which can be even...

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 ...

Dangerous sunspot AR3089 ready to blow up, threatens to blast Solar storms to Earth

[ad_1] The dangerous sunspot AR3089 has appeared on the Sun. Terrifyingly, it can send X-class solar flares and severe solar storms shooting towards Earth. The Sun is displaying scarily erratic behavior as we reach near the peak of its solar maximum phase. On September 18, three regions in the southern hemisphere of the Sun simultaneously exploded, releasing high amounts of magnetic charge and solar particles. Luckily that wasn't in the direction of the Earth. But something far scarier has now appeared in front of our planet. A sunspot called AR3089 has come into Earth's view. This sunspot was earlier seen in September and it was noted that it carried an X-class solar flare capable magnetic field. It was spotted using the tec...

Earth faces Triple-Threat from the Sun! Destructive solar storm could strike us soon

[ad_1] Three sunspots are coming together on the Earth-facing side of the Sun and they can cause a terrifying solar storm strike on our planet. One of the sunspots, AR3088, became notorious for blasting extremely powerful solar radiation at Venus. The Earth has been luckily escaping the wrath of the Sun even as it ramps up its volatility as it goes through its 11-year solar cycle. Today, Earth stands in a very difficult situation because of these constant solar storms. Some of the strongest solar storms this year were fortunately directed towards Venus and not Earth, with the most recent one coming just the previous week. But now, things are changing and a terrifying time might be coming for our planet as the same sunspot res...
