Solar storm DANGER! Intense solar flare explosion sparks blackouts on Earth, NASA says

[ad_1] On April 30, the forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned about a sunspot, named AR3288, which was growing at an exponential rate and contained unstable delta-class magnetic fields. Just a day after the warning, the sunspot exploded, blasting a powerful solar flare in the direction of the Earth. As per NASA, it was an M7-class flare eruption and it sparked a radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean region. The bigger question now is whether a solar storm is coming for the Earth.A SpaceWeather report said, “Unstable sunspot AR3288 erupted today, May 1st at 1309 UT, producing a brief but intense M7-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash. Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's a...

NASA reveals SCARY truth behind Cannibal CME: The worst solar storm offender for Earth

[ad_1] In just a few hours, the Earth is expected to witness a G1-class geomagnetic storm. This minor storm will be triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud which is going to deliver glancing blows to the Earth. The storm is not expected to be intense. And one of the reasons behind that is the CME cloud is not a cannibal CME. This particular subtype of CME is considered one of the most dangerous solar phenomena when it comes to triggering solar storms. Recently, the NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected such a CME, which was luckily moving away from the Earth. So, what makes them so scary and why are they associated with the worst solar storms on our planet? Find out below.As per a report by SpaceWeather.com, “Cannibal CMEs are great at sparking geomagnetic sto...

X-class solar flare EXPLODES, sparks blackouts in Asia! Solar storm shadow looms over Earth

[ad_1] A terrifying X-class solar flare has erupted on the Sun in the early hours today, March 29. The solar flare eruption occurred on the Earth-facing sunspot AR3256 and has caused strong shortwave radio blackouts in large regions of Australia, southeast Asia and New Zealand. This came after it was reported yesterday that as many as 9 sunspot groups have appeared on the Earth-facing side of the Sun. Forecasters had claimed that the sunspots seemed to be stable, but one of them unexpectedly exploded.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “The sun just produced another X-class solar flare, the 7th of 2023. The X1.2-category explosion came from sunspot AR3256 near the sun's southwestern limb. Radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmospher...

Surreal! NASA shares DEAFENING screams of the Sun; Listen to the scary sound

[ad_1] Last month, NASA made a remarkable discovery when it recorded the sound coming from RS Puppis, a Cepheid variable star which is located about 6,500 light-years away. But that's not all the sound we can hear from space. Our own star, The Sun, also makes a really eerie sound that is so loud it could even deafen everyone on Earth. This would happen if sound could propagate through space. But because it doesn't, we have never heard it before. But the NASA Solar and Helioscopic Observatory, a spacecraft tasked with monitoring the Sun, has captured the sound coming from it using an instrument known as Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI).Posting the raw audio on YouTube, the official YouTube channel of NASA said, “These are solar sounds generated from 40 days of the Solar and Heliospheric Ob...

TERRIFYING! ‘Extremely rare’ farside CME blast sparks solar storm on Earth, NASA says

[ad_1] A strange incident occurred in the early hours of yesterday, March 13. The NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected that after a huge explosion, a powerful wave of coronal mass ejection (CME) escaped from the surface of the Sun. This event should not have concerned the Earth under normal circumstances since the event took place on the farside of the Sun (the side of the Sun opposite to the Earth). However, the CME blast was deemed extremely rare as it was traveling at a mind-numbing speed of 3000 kilometers per second. The shock waves from the event pushed some of the CME particles towards the Earth as well and caused a solar storm. Check details.The event was reported by SpaceWeather.com which reported on its website, “Something big just happened on the farside o...
