Ahead of solar eclipse, fast-moving solar winds to spark a powerful solar storm today on Earth

[ad_1] Yesterday, it was reported that a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) was forming near the magnetosphere of the Earth due to the intermixing of slow and fast-moving solar winds. The situation is set to worsen today, October 13, as fresh solar winds escaping from a worm-like coronal hole will soon strike the Earth and trigger a powerful solar storm event. This event is expected to take place just before the annular solar eclipse occurs in the early hours of October 14.The information comes from two different sources. First is SpaceWeather.com which reported, “A stream of solar wind is expected to reach Earth later today… The gaseous material is flowing ~500 km/s from a narrow hole in the sun's atmosphere. Its arrival could spark geomagnetic unrest and auroras around the Arctic Ci...

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 ...

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 ...

Fiery solar winds heading for Earth! Dangerous solar storm to hit tomorrow; this tech tracks the terror

[ad_1] According to NOAA, a powerful solar storm can strike the Earth tomorrow, September 17, as fast moving solar winds are creating a CIR (Co-rotating interaction zone) on our planet’s magnetosphere. The Earth has been suffering multiple solar storms as a result of coronal mass ejection (CME) bursts on the Sun. Luckily, these solar storms so far have been minor to moderate and we have escaped any major catastrophe. However, the solar storm 2022 story is not over by any stretch of the imagination. A very unique type of solar storm is likely to hit the Earth tomorrow, September 17, which can prove to be dangerous. Unlike the solar storms which are caused by solar flare eruptions and CME bursts, this one is being caused due to...
