HUGE sunspot emerges on the Sun, warns NASA; Will it pose a solar storm threat?

[ad_1] A massive sunspot has been spotted on the Sun, reveals NASA. There is a risk that it can explode and send a powerful solar storm towards the Earth. All throughout the month of November, the Earth had to endure the ordeals of a large number of solar storms. Luckily, these disturbances from the Sun were not too powerful and did not cause much damage. However, that might soon change. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a satellite which has been tasked with observing the Sun, has observed a frightening development. A big sunspot has emerged on the Sun which can explode and cause a powerful solar storm on Earth. If such a large sunspot exploded, the resultant solar storm can have catastrophic consequences. Read on to know whether we should be worried or not.The recent develo...

Dangerous solar storm smashes into Earth with solar winds clocked at terrifying 700km a sec

[ad_1] Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event yesterday with solar winds travelling as fast as 700 km per second and even worse is expected. The previous week Earth was blasted by multiple solar storm strikes and it appears that the ongoing week is not going to be any different. The Sun has spit out a wave of terrifyingly fast moving solar winds towards Earth yesterday, November 29 and it sparked a solar storm. The solar storm disrupted GPS activity as well as radiowave propagation affecting HAM radio operations. Even worse solar storms are expected to follow in the week. This increased solar activity is due to the Sun approaching the peak of its current solar cycle, which is due sometime during the first half of 2023. Know how dangerous this solar storm was and how bad it c...

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...

WARNING! Dangerous solar storm set to hit Earth, fiery solar winds to blame

[ad_1] A dangerous solar storm is set to strike the Earth on November 20, caused by the fast-moving solar winds. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. In just a couple of months, the Sun will enter the peak of its solar cycle. While the exact date is not known, it is said that the peak, also known as solar maximum, will approach sometime in the first half of the year. What it would also mean is an increased number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun which will likely explode and release a large number of powerful coronal mass ejections (CME). The result? A dangerous solar storm onslaught which can damage satellites, destroy internet and mobile phones and much more. And in just two days, we will see a glimpse of this potential solar threat.The development was no...

Solar storm WARNING! Fast moving solar winds zooming towards Earth; Know when it will strike

[ad_1] According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth over the weekend of November 19-20. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. The Earth is constantly battling the radiation and the attacks on its magnetic field coming from the Sun, but lately it has turned from bad to quite worse. After escaping from a potential G5-class solar storm event from an unstable sunspot recently, now another danger is coming for the Earth. A hole has emerged on the southern hemisphere of the Sun, which is releasing a high-energy stream of plasma. This stream of plasma, also known as fast-moving solar winds, are expected to hit the Earth later this week and cause a powerful solar storm. Read on to know the consequences of this solar disturbance.The development was repor...

Solar flare Alert! Gigantic sunspot set to explode, says NOAA; blackouts on Earth feared

[ad_1] A massive sunspot can explode any moment, and spew out a powerful solar flare. This can even cause radio blackouts on Earth. In the last few days, the Earth was anticipating a big threat from the Sun. It is a gigantic sunspot called AR3141 which exploded last week resulting in a massive solar flare eruption on the farside of the Sun. If that solar flare had hit the Earth, it would have caused heavy radiation damage to satellites and wireless communication but luckily it wasn't facing our planet. However, the same sunspot is now facing the Earth. And as per National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) prediction, it can again explode. Know the scary consequences if a solar flare burst does hit the Earth today.The report came from SpaceWeather.com which noted on its w...

Solar storm alert! Fast moving solar winds charging towards Earth; Know the danger

[ad_1] According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth today, November 4. Know the dangerous impacts of this solar disturbance. Just a couple of days ago, it was revealed that a potentially gigantic sunspot on the farside of the Earth is slowly rotating to face the Earth. Last week, the sunspot exploded and released an extremely huge burst of coronal mass ejection (CME). Now, as it moves towards the Earth, there is a chance that it might explode again. But that is a concern for next week, as today the Earth is already set for a powerful solar storm caused by fast-moving solar winds. Know the damage it can cause. Read on.The report came from SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G1-class solar storms on Nov. 4th and 5th a...

Solar storm alert! STRONG solar winds set to strike Earth tomorrow

[ad_1] According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth tomorrow, October 29. Know the dangerous consequences of this solar disturbance. After a few days of downtime, the Sun has woken up in a rage! On October 26, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a space weather agency in the US reported that a powerful burst of solar winds escaped from the Sun's smiley face shaped dark spots. And now, the most recent predictions have revealed that the solar storm will strike the Earth tomorrow, October 29. Recently, we saw what a powerful solar storm can do when the rescue operations in the US after the Hurricane Ian needed to be stopped after the radio systems were disrupted due to the incoming magnetic flux.

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...

BIZARRE! Scary sunspot with a Tail spotted; It can explode and send destructive solar storm to Earth

[ad_1] A bizarre sunspot with a tail-like structure has been seen on the Sun. Shockingly, the slightest flick of the tail can send a dangerous solar storm towards the Earth. The Sun has been behaving in a bizarre manner lately. Shockingly, last week, scientists observed that the vibration pattern of the Sun changed after two humongous sunspots appeared on it. Even earlier, a large sunspot with two cores was spotted which had a strange magnetic field. And now, to make things even more scary, a sunspot has appeared with a long tail attached to it. The tail, which is as long as 390,000 km, is a filament made up of plasma and it carries a strong magnetic charge. It can easily send a powerful blast of coronal mass ejection (CME) t...
