Powerful M-class solar flare sparks blackout over Atlantic Ocean! NOAA shares details

[ad_1] Over the recent weeks, the Sun has emitted massive amounts of energy in the form of solar flares. While some of these flares unleashed from the Sun pass harmlessly into space, others hit Earth, resulting in geomagnetic storms. Over the past few days, an unstable sunspot named AR3335 has caused concerns due to the possibility of it releasing hazardous solar flares. For those unfamiliar, a sunspot is a dark area on the Sun's surface that appears due to intense magnetic activity.As per a SpaceWeather.com report, this unstable Sunspot AR3335 exploded on June 18th. Resultantly, it produced an M2.5-class solar flare. “The explosion lasted long enough to lift a CME out of the sun's atmosphere since confirmed by SOHO coronagraphs,” the report added. How strong it is? According to NASA, s...

Dangerous sunspot boosts solar flare risk to new high today! Blackouts expected

[ad_1] A dangerous sunspot has emerged on the Sun and it may have a significant effect on Earth! Just a few days ago, there was no sign of sunspot AR3315. However, according to SpaceWeather.com, it has now become the largest and most dangerous sunspot on the visible part of the Sun- the side facing the Earth at the moment. This sunspot, designated as AR3315, possesses a magnetic field classified as 'beta-gamma-delta,' which contains a considerable amount of energy capable of triggering powerful eruptions. For those who may not know, a sunspot is a dark, relatively cooler region that appears on the surface of the Sun due to intense magnetic activity. The experts at NOAA predict a 55 percent probability of an M-class solar flare. However, things may get really serious too. It also says th...

Terrifying solar storm coming to Earth! Sunspot set to spark X-class solar flare explosion today

[ad_1] The Earth could be on the brink of suffering a a blow from a massive solar storm that is in-the-works as multiple sunspots are ready to blast an X-class solar flare today, January 12. Last week was terrifying for the Earth. First a solar storm struck the Earth and caused GPS disruption across the affected regions and then two X-class solar flare eruptions caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia, New Zealand and South America. But it seems that the troubled times are not yet over for our planet. Reports suggest that multiple unstable sunspots have emerged on the Earth-facing side of the Sun which can blast another X-class solar flare towards the Earth today, January 12. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predictions suggest that there is a 70% cha...

Angry Sun blasts Earth! Solar storm, solar flare and now, sunspot, planet faces torrid time

[ad_1] As the Earth reaches its perihelion, the Sun has sprung into action. After a solar storm struck yesterday, January 4, now a solar flare and a farside sunspot could hit our planet. Check details. The Sun has been extremely active the past few days, and it is a terrifying development for us. Right now, the Earth is in its perihelion, the point in its orbit where it is the closest to the Sun, and a hyperactive Sun can easily spell disaster for us. Yesterday, January 4, the Earth suffered a massive solar storm that even moved a satellite away from its path. And before we could recover from it, more solar disturbances are aiming for our planet. While on one hand, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned for a solar flare possibility that can go off today...

Solar storm WARNING! Powerful CME ejected by the Sun set to strike Earth today

[ad_1] The Earth will be tormented by a powerful solar storm today, November 22. The incoming solar disturbance has been caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) spewed out by the Sun. In the last couple of weeks, the onslaught of solar storms has increased multifold. Every other day, the Earth is struck by a solar storm with a varying degree of intensity that is causing all sorts of troubles for us including, GPS disruption, radiowave blackouts and more. And it is not likely to stop anytime soon. Today, November 22, a powerful solar storm is expected to strike the Earth sparked by a coronal mass ejection (CME). Read on to know about its consequences.The development was noted in a report by SpaceWeather.com which stated, “NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of minor G1-class solar s...
