NASA SOHO data reveals solar storm can strike the Earth today; Check details

[ad_1] The Earth just experienced a solar storm event on October 18 when a coronal mass ejection (CME) sideswiped the Earth. The event resulted in auroras in parts of Canada and Norway that could be seen with unaided eyes. But now, there is a possibility that a far more intense CME can strike the Earth head-first and spark a powerful solar storm event either today, October 20, or tomorrow, October 21. The information comes from the NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, and it has been analyzed by space weather physicist Dr. Tamitha Skov.Skov posted on X and gave a detailed 5-day forecast for solar storms this week. She said, posting images of the forecast, “Learn about the back-to-back #solarstorms hitting Earth & why they pack a mild punch. See when & where #aurora is visibl...

Gigantic CME headed for the Earth, can spark solar storm soon; NASA records the explosion

[ad_1] Yesterday, it was reported that October could see the same amount of solar activity as the previous month. Currently, there are eight different active sunspot regions on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, and any one of them exploding could send terrifying coronal mass ejections (CME). In fact, that is what happened on October 3, when a sunspot exploded and caused a solar flare to erupt, which in the process, hurled a massive CME towards the Earth. Now, as per a NOAA forecast, this CME is expected to strike our planet on Saturday, October 7. Further, NASA has also shared a video of the event that shows the scary moment when the explosion takes place and the CME releases.As per a report by SpaceWeather, “NOAA forecasters say that a CME might graze Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 7th...

Solar storm threat for Earth rises after a helix CME was seen shooting out of the Sun

[ad_1] This week, the Earth has not been hit by a single solar storm. We have suffered some minor instances of radio blackouts and GPS disruptions due to solar winds, but apart from that, the Sun has remained quiet, even when a highly unstable sunspot, AR3405, has emerged in the Earth's view of the Sun. However, things could be changing. In the late hours of yesterday, strange radio emissions were detected, which is usually a warning sign for a solar flare eruption. Sure enough, a flare was set off and it did release a coronal mass ejection (CME), as per reports. The direction of the CME has not been confirmed so far, but there is a possibility that it could be Earth-bound.The initial report of a radio emission came from SpaceWeatherLive, an account on X that sends automated alerts for ...

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 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...

Scary smiley face on Sun today to spark dangerous solar storm on Earth; check date

[ad_1] A terrifying smiley face on the Sun has appeared today. It is unleashing solar winds towards the Earth that can cause a dangerous solar storm on Earth on October 28. The Sun is smiling upon us today but not the kind that brings you good luck. A smiley face has appeared on the Sun and it can have terrifying consequences for us. Three dark spots have emerged on the Sun due to the build up of a high magnetic field. These three spots have created the shape of a smiley face. But these spots are releasing a complex stream of solar wind toward Earth. These solar winds can cause an intense solar storm on Earth on October 28. Know how this can impact the Earth. Read on.This development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “There is a smiley face on the sun today....

Alert! Fierce solar storm on Diwali coming to Earth; Know the danger

[ad_1] A powerful solar storm can strike the Earth on Diwali, October 24 as fast moving solar winds are expected to strike. As India prepares for the festival of Diwali and various other regional festivals, the threat of an incoming solar storm is casting a long shadow over Earth. Solar storms have caused a great deal of grief for people this year as the Sun is nearing the peak of its solar cycle. Multiple radio blackouts have been witnessed all over the world, and in February, around 40 starlink satellites were destroyed by such solar disturbances. But now, according to reports, solar storms are likely on the festival of Diwali and it can be a big concern. Read on to know how this might affect us.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted, “Minor G1-class geomagneti...

ALERT! Dangerous solar storm headed towards Earth; Will it trigger a blackout?

[ad_1] Horrific material flowing from a double hole on the Sun will cause a major solar storm event on October 1, 2022. Can it trigger a radio blackout on Earth? After almost a week of peace, the Sun has blasted a powerful burst of solar material towards the Earth. These horrific gaseous materials have escaped from a double equatorial hole on the Sun's surface and are directly headed towards the Earth. According to NOAA projections, a solar storm can hit the Earth on October 1 and it might be more powerful than the ones that we have seen recently. The NOAA space weather forecast system uses the technology aboard the DSCOVR satellite which observes the Sun and other regional activity in space that may have an adverse impact on...

Alert! Furious solar winds to cause solar storm on Earth tomorrow; This is what can happen

[ad_1] According to NOAA, a powerful solar storm can strike the Earth tomorrow, September 23, as fast moving solar winds are expected to strike. The Earth has become a standing target for the incessant solar storm attacks this year. And after a small break, the solar storm attack is back again. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), fast-moving solar winds are going to strike the Earth tomorrow, September 23, causing a solar storm. This event takes place mere days after a solar flare eruption on the Sun caused radio blackouts in Africa and the Middle East. But how powerful is this solar storm and should we be concerned?

BEWARE! In 3 days, even ordinary solar storms on Earth will have a Catastrophic effect

[ad_1] Solar storms in the next few days could have a violent impact on Earth. Know all about the Russell-McPherron effect. The Earth has increasingly been dealing with the onslaught of solar storms since 2022 began. Some of the solar storms we have experienced were quite devastating. Elon Musk led SpaceX faced the brunt of it when more than 40 Starlink satellites were destroyed in a solar storm event earlier this year. We have also seen multiple radio blackouts and GPS disruptions. But now, things are going to turn even more frightening. In the next three days, the Earth's main line-of-defense against solar storms — the magnetosphere — is going to grow weaker, letting even the weak solar storms cause chaos on Earth. But why ...
