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...

Earth faces Triple-Threat from the Sun! Destructive solar storm could strike us soon

[ad_1] Three sunspots are coming together on the Earth-facing side of the Sun and they can cause a terrifying solar storm strike on our planet. One of the sunspots, AR3088, became notorious for blasting extremely powerful solar radiation at Venus. The Earth has been luckily escaping the wrath of the Sun even as it ramps up its volatility as it goes through its 11-year solar cycle. Today, Earth stands in a very difficult situation because of these constant solar storms. Some of the strongest solar storms this year were fortunately directed towards Venus and not Earth, with the most recent one coming just the previous week. But now, things are changing and a terrifying time might be coming for our planet as the same sunspot res...

One of the strongest solar storms ever detected by NASA has Erupted! Terrifying storm to hit Earth?

[ad_1] One of the strongest solar storms ever detected by NASA erupted on September 5. Will this destructive force of solar radiation strike the Earth? Find out. On Monday, September 5, the NASA STEREO-A sun-watching spacecraft, a technological marvel, spotted something unusual and terrifying! A massive solar storm, larger and stronger than anything we have seen on Earth recently, erupted on the Sun. This solar storm was comparable to the other historic solar disruptions experienced on our planet. The event has not only shocked the scientists but also made them very concerned about the destructive capabilities of the fireball in the sky. But is there a risk that this solar storm can strike the Earth and cause havoc? Read on t...

BIZARRE! Scary sunspot with a Tail spotted; It can explode and send destructive solar storm to Earth

[ad_1] A bizarre sunspot with a tail-like structure has been seen on the Sun. Shockingly, the slightest flick of the tail can send a dangerous solar storm towards the Earth. The Sun has been behaving in a bizarre manner lately. Shockingly, last week, scientists observed that the vibration pattern of the Sun changed after two humongous sunspots appeared on it. Even earlier, a large sunspot with two cores was spotted which had a strange magnetic field. And now, to make things even more scary, a sunspot has appeared with a long tail attached to it. The tail, which is as long as 390,000 km, is a filament made up of plasma and it carries a strong magnetic charge. It can easily send a powerful blast of coronal mass ejection (CME) t...

Large Hole on the Sun EXPLODES! Powerful solar storms on Earth coming tomorrow

[ad_1] A large hole on the Sun, also known as a coronal hole, has exploded resulting in throwing coronal mass ejections towards the Earth. A powerful solar storm can take place tomorrow, September 4. Scientists have warned that a powerful solar storm will be striking the Earth on September 4. In the last few days, the geomagnetic disturbances were on the lower end with only a couple of minor solar storms hitting the planet. But that is about to change as a large, dark hole on the surface of the Sun has exploded. This structure is known as a coronal hole and has a distinct dark color to it, indicating a very strong magnetic field. This unstable hole has erupted and thrown coronal mass ejections (CME) towards the Earth. With th...

Shocking! Solar storms can give you a Heart attack and KILL you, says study

[ad_1] A study claims that solar storms and other geomagnetic activities can “exacerbate existing diseases” and is related to a number of heart diseases that are all deadly. How exactly do they impact your health? Find out. Aurora lovers need to pay attention! The same solar storm which causes beautiful patterned light-shows across the sky can actually kill you. This is what a 2018 study claims. It was a result of long-term research on the harmful effects of solar storms and other geomagnetic activities on Earth. This is a shocking revelation because earlier it was assumed that solar storms did not affect humans and only electronic devices, power grids and satellites were at risk from the wrath of the Sun. If this study is to...

Solar storm just triggered beautiful auroras on Earth! Astronaut shares photos too

[ad_1] A strong solar storm hit Earth on August 29 resulting in beautiful auroras. Astronaut shared pictures on Twitter. The Sun has been erupting frequently lately and throwing high energy storms towards us. Recently, a dozen solar flares have hit the Earth unexpectedly and the strongest storm took place on August 29. The storm triggered beautiful auroras in the Northern Hemisphere. The auroras were visible over Scotland, Alberta and Montana. Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti too dropped some stunning photos of auroras. She also shared that the most powerful solar storms she had encountered in space during her 300 days of stay in orbit. An aurora is a natural phenomenon that appears as a natural-coloured (green, red, yellow o...

Carrington event: The solar storm that SHOOK the world! Another one can wreak havoc on satellites today

[ad_1] The Carrington event solar storm took place in 1859 and had devastating effect on the telegraph system on Earth, setting off fires and even shocking the operators. A similar solar storm today can cause much greater damage and destroy our satellites. The year 1859 was when modern civilization realized how scary and destructive the life-nurturing Sun can be. It all began after multiple Sunspots exploded at the same time, resulting in sending coronal mass ejection (CME) so powerful towards the Earth that the resultant solar storm affected telegraph systems across the planet. The telegraph operators reported receiving electric shocks upon touching the instruments, the telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire and some equi...

Solar storms can wreak havoc on Earth from blind side of the Sun

[ad_1] Even though the weather forecaster systems on Earth have become more advanced and powerful, yet they still don't know what goes on on the far side of the Sun. And if a powerful solar storm brews there, it can quickly be disastrous for us. Today, agencies like NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) observe the Sun continuously to predict when the next solar storm can hit the Earth. This prediction time helps us in shutting down satellites, turning off the power grids and sensitive instruments as well as sending out warnings in case a powerful storm strikes the planet. But the system which gives us the assurance of keeping us safe is not really fool-proof. In fact, its prediction capabilities exi...

Huge sunspot on the Earth-facing side grows 10 times in size! Earth in danger?

[ad_1] A sunspot named Sunspot AR3035 has grown 10 times in size in just a span of two days. Could it affect Earth? Read on to find out. A huge sunspot on the Earth-facing side of the Sun has become a matter of worry for scientists after it grew 10 times in size in a span of just 2 days! The sunspot, named Sunspot AR3035, is present on the surface of the Sun, directly facing the Earth. If the sunspot erupts, it could send dangerous solar flares hurtling towards Earth, causing a massive impact on the planet.According to weather. com, this sunspot formed unexpectedly on the surface of the Sun and since has nearly grown ten-fold in size. At this moment, scientists are not considering Sunspot AR3035 as a risk. Just last week, a s...
