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...

One of the strongest solar storms ever detected by NASA has Erupted! Terrifying storm to hit Earth?

[ad_1] One of the strongest solar storms ever detected by NASA erupted on September 5. Will this destructive force of solar radiation strike the Earth? Find out. On Monday, September 5, the NASA STEREO-A sun-watching spacecraft, a technological marvel, spotted something unusual and terrifying! A massive solar storm, larger and stronger than anything we have seen on Earth recently, erupted on the Sun. This solar storm was comparable to the other historic solar disruptions experienced on our planet. The event has not only shocked the scientists but also made them very concerned about the destructive capabilities of the fireball in the sky. But is there a risk that this solar storm can strike the Earth and cause havoc? Read on t...

Miracle! Telescope captures FIRST-EVER special image of mysterious Sun part

[ad_1] The difficulty of capturing the Sun's lower atmosphere, the chromosphere, is massive. However, it has now been done by the world’s largest solar telescope. Have a look here. We have seen several images and short clips shared by NASA revealing great details of the Sun. But this time, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawai'i has captured the first-ever detailed image of the sun's chromosphere, which is a layer of the Sun's atmosphere just above its surface. The image taken by the telescope on June 3, 2022, shows a region 82,500 kilometres across at a resolution of 18 km.What is chromosphere? Similar to the outermost region of the sun's atmosphere named corona, the chromosphere is generally clouded by the s...

Solar storms can wreak havoc on Earth from blind side of the Sun

[ad_1] Even though the weather forecaster systems on Earth have become more advanced and powerful, yet they still don't know what goes on on the far side of the Sun. And if a powerful solar storm brews there, it can quickly be disastrous for us. Today, agencies like NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) observe the Sun continuously to predict when the next solar storm can hit the Earth. This prediction time helps us in shutting down satellites, turning off the power grids and sensitive instruments as well as sending out warnings in case a powerful storm strikes the planet. But the system which gives us the assurance of keeping us safe is not really fool-proof. In fact, its prediction capabilities exi...

Angry Sun! 17 CME, 19 solar flares, 11 sunspots exploded in just a week- NASA reveals dangerous activity

[ad_1] NASA has informed that in just a week, as many as 17 coronal mass ejections (CME), 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots have been observed. Here is all you need to know. The Sun seems to be in a fiery and angry mood! According to the information provided by NASA, the week starting from August 15 to August 21 saw as many as 17 coronal mass ejections (CME) along with 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots explode on our Sun. The information was provided by the research organisation while giving a solar activity round up. Tweeting about the same, it said, "Time for the #SunDay solar activity round up! This past week 17 coronal mass ejections were observed, along with 19 solar flares and 11 sunspots. The GIF below shows a coronal mass...
