solar storm prediction – Page 7

[ad_1] The Sun has thrown solar particles towards the Earth which can cause a powerful CME storm today. Know if it can cause radio blackouts. A couple of days ago, the Sun virtually exploded. A filament of magnetism erupted on the surface of our star and it shot up thousands of kilometers in the sky. It was spotted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) telescope DSCOVR and it reported that magnetized solar particles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CME) were thrown in the direction of the Earth. If our planet faces the full brunt of this CME storm, it can cause widespread blackouts, GPS disruptions and even make mobile phone and Internet networks temporarily inaccessible. Read on to know the likelihood of a CME storm and the consequences it can bring to E...

[ad_1] The Earth may just have found a solution for destructive solar storms —- Inouye Solar Telescope. We all know about the dark side of solar storms. These radiation-filled particles carrying a high magnetic charge known as coronal mass ejections (CME), can impact the Earth in multiple ways. From causing harmless auroral projections to destroying satellites in Earth's lower orbit, harming electronic devices on Earth, disrupting GPS, mobile network and internet services to even collapsing the power grid, the dangers of solar storms are very high. But probably the most terrifying thing about solar storms is the unpredictable nature of it. No matter what, we can only know about them one to two days ahead of time, which is not...
