Terrifying solar storm coming to Earth! Sunspot set to spark X-class solar flare explosion today

[ad_1] The Earth could be on the brink of suffering a a blow from a massive solar storm that is in-the-works as multiple sunspots are ready to blast an X-class solar flare today, January 12. Last week was terrifying for the Earth. First a solar storm struck the Earth and caused GPS disruption across the affected regions and then two X-class solar flare eruptions caused shortwave radio blackouts in Australia, New Zealand and South America. But it seems that the troubled times are not yet over for our planet. Reports suggest that multiple unstable sunspots have emerged on the Earth-facing side of the Sun which can blast another X-class solar flare towards the Earth today, January 12. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predictions suggest that there is a 70% cha...

Angry Sun blasts Earth! Solar storm, solar flare and now, sunspot, planet faces torrid time

[ad_1] As the Earth reaches its perihelion, the Sun has sprung into action. After a solar storm struck yesterday, January 4, now a solar flare and a farside sunspot could hit our planet. Check details. The Sun has been extremely active the past few days, and it is a terrifying development for us. Right now, the Earth is in its perihelion, the point in its orbit where it is the closest to the Sun, and a hyperactive Sun can easily spell disaster for us. Yesterday, January 4, the Earth suffered a massive solar storm that even moved a satellite away from its path. And before we could recover from it, more solar disturbances are aiming for our planet. While on one hand, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has warned for a solar flare possibility that can go off today...

BEWARE! Dangerous solar storm to hit Earth tomorrow

[ad_1] An extremely active sunspot has thrown out a coronal mass ejections (CME) and it is directed at the Earth. This is set to spark a solar storm on Earth tomorrow, December 8. The Sun is confusing everyone. Just yesterday, we had an off-chance of a minor solar storm possibility due to fast-moving solar winds that were approaching the Earth. And today, as many as five different sunspots and two filaments of magnetism have emerged on the Earth-facing disk side of the Sun. This is the most active the Sun has been in months and it is directed entirely at our planet. If any explosion sets off, it would mean a massive burst of magnetic waves hitting our planet and causing all kinds of destruction. While we monitor that, a solar flare burst from the Sun's active region and it is headed f...

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...
