Sun’s solar activity to peak in 2 years, could cause Internet Apocalypse

[ad_1] Experts are talking about the Sun's solar cycles and how they can create powerful solar storms that might disrupt communications on Earth. The Washington Post recently reported that in 2025, the Sun will enter a phase called "solar maximum," which is a period of increased activity. Unfortunately, our modern digital world might not be ready for it. This news has sparked interest on social media, with some even calling it the "internet apocalypse." However, it's important to note that NASA, the American space agency, hasn't confirmed this possibility or commented on it.Historical examples of Solar Storm disruptionsDespite the lack of official statements, many individuals are wondering what would happen if the internet were to be severely affected. Is this concern just hype? Accordi...

Solar storms and Internet apocalypse: Why researcher feels bad

[ad_1] Recent discussions about the possibility of an "internet apocalypse" caused by solar storms have captured the attention of social media users. While the concept may sound like science fiction, experts suggest that a widespread internet outage triggered by a powerful solar storm is a rare, but plausible event. As the sun enters a particularly active phase known as the "solar maximum" in 2025, concerns about the world's preparedness have started to rise.In effect, when the Sun is extremely volatile, it spews out energy in space. This can be in the form of what is called solar flares, coronal mass ejection, solar wind etc. If it happens to collide with the Earth's magnetic field, it immediately sparks a geomagnetic storm. While one effect of that are the beautiful auroras, the other...

Double solar storms to hit Earth at any moment today! Will it spark an internet apocalypse?

[ad_1] Yesterday, it was reported that a double solar storm strike was expected on the Earth. However, it did not happen. Turns out, the coronal mass ejection (CME) clouds that were moving towards our planet, are moving slower than previously thought. However, the danger is not over! It is likely that it will strike today at any moment. Many are also fearing whether this solar storm strike can cause an internet apocalypse, destroying the internet infrastructure altogether and leaving everyone with dead smartphones. Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather scientist, has posted her 5-day forecast for solar storms on her Patreon account and said, “This week our Sun steps up the activity! We have two solar storms on their way to Earth (which should hit any time now), plus some fast solar wind. In...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe to help understand geomagnetic storms, prevent internet apocalypse

[ad_1] NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has gathered crucial data that could help prevent a potential internet apocalypse caused by solar storms. A recent study reveals that understanding the origin of solar wind is essential in predicting these storms, which can have devastating effects on satellites, the electrical grid, and communication networks on Earth. The research team suggests that fast solar winds are produced through a process called magnetic reconnection, where magnetic fields on the sun create solar storms that strike the Earth's magnetosphere, as per Hothardware reports. When this happens, it sparks geomagnetic storms on Earth and that can cripple satellites, Internet, power grids, radio communications and more on Earth.Geomagnetic storms also generate the fascinating auror...

Internet apocalypse coming? Here’s how terrifying solar storms can impact Earth

[ad_1] Have you ever imagined how our lives would be without the internet or phone network? Even imagining an internet apocalypse is scary! A life without internet would be like life back in the Roman age - cruel and short! No internet, no phone calls, no emergency services, no way to run the mammoth Infrastructure that has been created from electricity grids to hospitals, industries, and more. In the 21st century, we rely heavily on electronics and there would be no easy life possible without the internet. Imagine spending COVID-19 lockdown days without the internet!But can the internet apocalypse really happen? Yes! It surely can, but there is no official statement or warning from NASA or any other organization. But scientists have carried out in-depth research based on data provided ...

Can a solar storm spark global Internet breakdown on Earth? The facts will shock and awe you

[ad_1] The fearful truth is that a solar storm can actually destroy the Internet on Earth and not just for a few hours or days, but for months, sparking chaos and deaths across the world. A solar storm refers to atmospheric disturbances experienced on Earth that originate from the sun, primarily caused by solar flares. These are shot from the Sun and strike anythhing that gets in their path including the Earth. It s a powerful source of energy which, when it hits the Earth's atmosphere, sparks a geomagnetic storm here. While the fascinating result is an aurora, the fearful thing that can happen is that the magnetic storm can wipe out satellites and other delicate instruments in undersea cables that carry the world's internet, said Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi at the University of California Ir...
