Terrifying solar storm cracks open Earth’s magnetic field

[ad_1] After a brief period of quiet, the Earth has been bombarded with solar particles that have sparked a terrifying solar storm event. Interestingly, the solar storm was not triggered by a coronal mass ejection, which is usually responsible for such events. Instead, it was caused by the solar winds. Reports suggest that multiple solar winds smacked into the Earth's magnetosphere, causing it to weaken and cracks to open up in its structure, an occurrence known as a co-rotating interaction region. The crack allowed solar winds to spark the solar storm.As per a report by SpaceWeather.com, “Earth's magnetic field remains unsettled on June 16th following yesterday's impact of a co-rotating interaction region (CIR). CIRs are transition zones between solar wind streams. Solar wind plasma pi...

Dangerous solar storm strikes Earth; Blackouts feared in southern hemisphere

[ad_1] Brief interplanetary magnetic field shift near Earth signaled a dangerous solar storm strike to the Earth which affected the arctic circles. Shortwave radio blackouts are expected in the region. After the coronal mass ejections (CME) clouds hit the magnetosphere of the Earth and caused an interplanetary magnetic field shift yesterday on January 18, today, a solar storm struck the Earth propelled by the remaining CME particles. The solar storm would have remained undetected if some satellites did not pick up on the IMF disruption. The solar storm struck the southern hemisphere of our planet and caused a brief aurora display in the arctic region. It is also feared that nearby regions might have been hit with shortwave radio blackouts.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com ...

Dangerous CME to strike the Earth and cause massive solar storm; Know the danger

[ad_1] A large cloud of coronal mass ejection (CME) is moving towards the Earth and will cause a solar storm on January 19. Know how it can impact us. The solar activity on the Sun continues to increase as astronomers point out multiple sunspots emerging there. Reports suggest that if this continues, the month of January 2023 can break a 20-year record for highest number of sunspots in a month. And this record has terrifying consequences for the Earth. Our planet has already suffered multiple solar storms and solar flare eruptions, but it appears that the onslaught will continue. Another cloud of coronal mass ejection (CME) is headed towards us and can strike the Earth on January 19. So, what could be the impact of such a solar storm?The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com wh...

SCARY CME hits Earth, causes massive solar storm; Satellite tossed around, may be lost

[ad_1] A massive solar storm, caused by coronal mass ejections (CME) struck the Earth today, January 4. The impact to the magnetosphere was so strong that a satellite was pushed out of its path. Yesterday, it was reported that coronal mass ejections (CME) released from the Sun during an eruption on December 30th were moving towards the Earth and were going to cause a massive solar storm event when it reached us. CME-induced solar storms are more intense than usual and scientists were concerned about its impact. It finally struck the magnetosphere of our planet at 8:24 AM today, January 4, resulting in furious magnetic flux. The impact was so strong that an Australian satellite recorded a deviation from its path. If it is not able to regain its position, it could be lost forever. Read ...

Dangerous solar storm to strike tomorrow as slow moving CME rushes towards Earth

[ad_1] A dangerous solar storm is being expected tomorrow, January 4, which is going to be caused by a slow-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) moving towards the Earth. Know how it affects us. The new year has started with a flurry of solar storms thrown out by the Sun towards the Earth. After being struck with solar storms on both December 31 and January 1, it was reported that yet another solar storm was brewing on the Sun. And now, it is nearing close to our planet as researchers predict that the dangerous solar storm will reach Earth tomorrow, January 2. Interestingly, this solar storm will be caused by slow-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) particles which were released by the Sun on December 30. So, what could happen when this storm strikes the Earth? Read on to find out.The de...

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 ...

Dangerous solar storm strikes Earth on Winter Solstice day! More set to hit today

[ad_1] A double hole on the Sun’s surface has sent a dangerous solar storm to Earth and that too on Winter Solstice day. More solar storm activity expected today, December 22. Just a couple of days ago, a shockwave caused by fast-moving solar winds caused a crack in the magnetosphere of the Earth, which resulted in unexpected solar storm activity. Now, there is a relentless attack, as another solar storm has struck our planet in the early hours today, December 22. A flurry of auroras could be seen in the arctic region. But these solar storms are much more dangerous than some light show in the sky. They cause GPS disruptions and shortwave radio blackouts. And now, forecasters have revealed that more solar storm activity can be seen later today. Incidentally, the solar storms have struc...

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...

Fast-moving solar winds BREAK magnetic field over Earth; dangerous solar storms to follow

[ad_1] Fast moving solar winds have created a CIR (Co-rotating interaction region) on the magnetosphere of Earth. Now, multiple solar storms are expected between December 8 and 9. As the multiple active sunspots on the Earth-facing disk of the Sun poses a new threat of solar disturbances, we are already seeing the first wave of solar storms. A solar storm struck the Earth in the early hours of December 7 and it has caused a serious issue for us. The solar storm was caused by fast-moving solar winds meeting slower solar winds. When these varying magnetic fields interact among themselves in the upper atmosphere of Earth, it causes a rip in our magnetosphere which is known as a Co-rotating Interaction Region (CIR). This hole in the magnetosphere lets other solar particles easily through ...
