Fastest solar winds in years churn TERRIFYING solar storm on Earth; More expected

[ad_1] On February 24, it was first reported that the Sun was suffering from chain explosions caused by the sunspot AR3229 igniting multiple solar flares within itself that released huge amounts of solar particles into space. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that a double blow was coming for the Earth with a solar wind stream and a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud both headed towards the Earth. Yesterday, February 27, the solar storm finally struck our planet and it was a terrifying event marked with the fastest solar winds seen in years and the most intense solar storm of 2023. To make matters worse, more such solar storms are expected to strike the Earth today.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted that the NOAA DSCOVR satelli...

Solar storm hits Earth after Sun spews out CME cloud; Luckily, THIS happened then

[ad_1] On February 17, an extreme solar flare eruption occurred on the Sun. The X2.2-class solar flare exploded on the sunspot AR3229 and became the strongest flare seen in the last two years. While the event caused radio blackout on the American continents, the event was concerning because there was a risk that it could channel further solar storm events on Earth by releasing coronal mass ejection (CME) clouds. The CME cloud finally hit the Earth yesterday, February 20, in alignment with the prediction by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. However, unexpectedly, it did not cause the kind of solar storm astronomers were worried about. Check details.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted in its website, “A CME struck Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 20...

Solar flare strikes Earth, causes BLACKOUT in Australia and New Zealand

[ad_1] A major solar flare activity was recorded in the early hours today, January 6. The X-class flare caused a shortwave radio blackout affecting most of the South Pacific including Australia and New Zealand. It was reported earlier that multiple unstable regions have emerged on the Sun, resulting in chaotic solar activity. This is now impacting Earth. On Wednesday, the Earth suffered a minor solar storm strike, which shockingly, managed to push a satellite away from its orbit. It was also reported that there were chances of a solar flare eruption today, January 6. The fears have now come true in the worst of forms as the strongest X-class solar flare has erupted from the Sun directly facing the Earth. The flare has resulted in a shortwave radio blackout which has affected most of t...

Last solar storm of 2022 set to strike Earth tomorrow; Solar wind terror on way

[ad_1] Fast-moving solar winds can strike the Earth tomorrow, December 31 and spark the last solar storm of the year. Know how it can impact you. The Earth narrowly avoided a close encounter with a coronal mass ejection (CME) on Christmas, but before the year ends, our planet might face yet another solar storm onslaught. According to reports, fast-moving solar winds have escaped from the Sun and are headed towards us. This is likely to create a co-rotating interaction region by creating a hole in the Earth's magnetic field. This will be the last solar storm of the year and will strike tomorrow, December 31. This solar storm is going to strike right when people will be making their new year plans and traveling for their holidays and it can ruin your plans. Read on to know the possible ...

Alert! Earth could be struck by powerful solar flares today; Know the danger

[ad_1] Sunspots AR3169 and AR3176 pose a serious threat from solar flares on the Earth today, December 29. Know how serious the impact can be. After a relatively quiet Christmas period, the Sun has sprung back into action again. With just two days to the new year, Earth is now facing new threats of solar flares. Two new sunspots have emerged on the Sun named AR3169 and AR3176 which are prone to set off a massive explosion. There is a high possibility of the sunspots exploding today, December 29, and blasting the strongest X-class solar flares towards our planet. These solar disturbances can cause multiple challenges for us including GPS disruption, radio blackouts and even fluctuations in power grids. Read on to know more about the solar flare threat.The development was reported by Sp...

Violent Sunspot explosion sends powerful solar flares to Earth, sparks blackouts; More expected today

[ad_1] Sunspot AR3165 has been exploding incessantly since the last two days. Multiple M-class solar flares directed at the Earth have caused frequent shortwave radio blackouts. Two days ago, it was reported that a particularly unstable sunspot, AR3165 has been causing worries for the astronomers and it appears that the worries have come true. Since late night on December 15, this particular sunspot has witnessed multiple explosions that sparked more than 18 M-class solar flares. The magnetic filaments that carry an extremely high proportion of ultraviolet radiation and magnetic fields have been bombarding the Earth. As a result, there have been frequent shortwave radio blackouts on Earth causing trouble for radio operators, airlines and ships, which require GPS to operate. But it see...

Solar storm danger! Unstable sunspot can send horrifying X-Class solar flares towards Earth today

[ad_1] Sunspot AR3165 has become unstable and is set to explode, sparking a solar storm. It can send dangerous X-class solar flares towards the Earth today, December 15. A massive solar storm may well hit Earth sometime today. Earlier this week, it was reported that a massive region on the Earth-facing side of the Sun was filled with sunspots and magnetic filaments, which make it a highly reactive area prone to explosions. These explosions could throw powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) and spark destructive solar disturbances. Now, the fear has come true as one of the sunspots, AR3165, has turned unstable and is cracking crackling with solar flares. The sunspot has already spewed out a medium solar flare last night and now there are chances of an X-class solar flar...

Terrifying solar storm strikes Earth! Carried by solar winds moving at 500 km/s

[ad_1] Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event today, December 9, with solar winds traveling as fast as 500 km per second. More storms are expected to follow. In the last couple of days, the threat of fast-moving solar winds has been building up for Earth. An active region on the Sun spewed these magnetized solar particles towards the Earth which have been galloping towards the Earth at a reckless speed of 500 kilometers per second. Yesterday, the first batch of these solar winds struck the Earth and created a co-rotating interaction region (CIR), a hole in the magnetosphere of our planet. As a result, these subsequent solar winds will have an easier time getting inside our atmosphere and they can cause an intense solar storm event. Read on to know the consequences of these s...

Solar storm WARNING! Fast moving solar wind set to strike Earth; Know when

[ad_1] According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth between December 8 and 9, caused by fast-moving solar wind. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. In the last couple of months, solar activity has reduced in frequency. This is highly unusual because as we know, the Sun is getting closer to the peak of its Solar cycle known as the Solar Maximum. The peak will be reached sometime in the first half of 2023. The lack of strong solar flares or direct coronal mass ejection (CME) hits to Earth is being considered a coincidence since there have been quite a few explosions on the farside. But now, things appear to change as there are five big sunspots and multiple magnetic filaments facing the Earth which can set off any moment. And the first assault o...

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...
