Solar winds moving at a hellish 600 km per second, COLLIDE with Earth as solar storm terror continues

[ad_1] Solar activity has been on the rise ever since the turn of 2023, but the month of March in particular witnessed some record-breaking solar storms. In the second week of the month, the Earth suffered the blow of a G3-class geomagnetic storm that delayed a SpaceX rocket launch and disrupted the operations of oil rigs in Canada. Worse was to come. In the third week of March, the worst solar storm in six years, a G4-class geomagnetic storm struck the Earth. And now, the planet must brace for another ordeal as solar winds, moving as fast as 600 kilometers per second, have struck the Earth. Forecasters have also issued a solar storm warning for later today.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted in its website, “Earth is entering a stream of solar wind flowing 600 km/...

Solar storm fears on Earth grow as 9 DANGEROUS sunspots appear on the Sun

[ad_1] Last week, the Earth suffered the worst solar storm event in six years after a G4-class geomagnetic storm wreaked havoc for as long as eight hours. The severe storm was so strong that auroras were seen as far south as Colorado and New Mexico in the USA. Various reports also highlighted radio blackouts and GPS disruptions in geoeffective regions. However, the Sun is relentless and today, it appears that more dangerous solar storms are likely coming. As many as 9 sunspot groups have been detected on the Sun and there is a fear that if even one of them explodes, the resultant impact on the Earth can be dangerous.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “Today, there are 9 sunspot groups on the sun”. The report also mentioned that for the time bein...

Earth just suffered the WORST solar storm in 6 years due to this terrifying triple whammy

[ad_1] The solar storm onslaught that began at the start of this year, reached a new milestone on Thursday night when a G4-class geomagnetic storm struck the planet. Today, it has left scientists scrambling to find the reasons that caused it. Scientists are trying to find out whether the storm damaged satellites, impacted GPS and mobile phone networks, internet cables or harmed the power grids. The Earth had already suffered a couple of G3-class storms recently, but this particular event was deemed to be the most intense in the last 6 years. The worst, and scariest, part is that no forecaster was able to pick up on this incident ahead of time. So, what caused one of the worst solar storms to strike the Earth and why was there no prediction of such a terrifying event? Find out.According ...

SURPRISE solar storm! G4-class geomagnetic storm hits the Earth, strongest in 6 years

[ad_1] For a couple of days, the Earth has been awaiting the solar winds that were released from a massive coronal hole in the atmosphere of the Sun. There were some concerns that a solar storm event so close to the vernal equinox (spring equinox) could give rise to an extremely powerful storm, and it turns out the fears were not unfounded. Yesterday night, March 23, huge amounts of solar winds entered the upper atmosphere of the Earth through a crack open in the planet's magnetic field and sparked a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm, the strongest seen in six years. And surprisingly, no forecaster picked up on this development.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “orecasters completely missed this one. On March 23-24, auroras spread into the United ...

Dangerous solar storm to STRIKE Earth tomorrow, spark G2-class geomagnetic storm, NOAA says

[ad_1] On March 21, a report revealed that a terrifyingly large hole had appeared in the Sun's atmosphere that was spewing a powerful solar wind stream. At the time, it was believed that this solar storm could reach the Earth between March 23 and 24 and could cause a powerful geomagnetic storm event. Now, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has stated that the solar winds will reach our planet tomorrow and will result in a G2-class geomagnetic storm, which can have quite scary consequences.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted in its website, “NOAA forecasters say that G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storms are possible on March 24th when solar wind flowing from a large hole in the sun's atmosphere is expected to reach Earth”. This would al...

Solar storm DANGER! NASA spots giant hole on Sun blasting solar winds towards Earth

[ad_1] Yesterday, March 20, it was reported that the Earth may suffer a glancing blow from an incoming coronal mass ejection (CME) today. While astronomers keep an eye out on its development, a far more concerning development has been spotted on the Sun. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory has detected a large hole in the Sun's atmosphere which is spewing a stream of solar winds. This solar wind is expected to reach our planet between March 23 and 24, and can cause another powerful solar storm event. Things can worsen if there is any incoming CME on that day as the resultant effect would be multiplied due to the effect of solar winds. Check details.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “A large hole has opened in the sun's atmosphere, and it is sp...

Solar storm TERROR looms for Earth as equinox approaches; Know why the date is SCARY

[ad_1] The month of March has already been quite devastating in terms of solar storm events. We have witnessed multiple solar flare eruptions that have caused blackouts in multiple regions. There were also a few solar storms, with the most intense one peaking at a G2-category storm. But in two days' time, things can go much worse for the Earth. The vernal equinox will arrive on March 21. And based on historical data, this is the time of the year when our planet suffers the most powerful solar storms. But why is that? Check details.According to a report by SpaceWeather.com, it was mentioned that solar storms love equinox. The report stated, “The vernal equinox is only 3 days away. That's good news, because auroras love equinoxes. Researchers call it the "Russell-McPherron effect." At th...

Shockingly strong solar storm sparks powerful aurora at BOTH ends of Earth

[ad_1] The solar storm that struck the Earth on March 15 after a powerful wave of coronal mass ejection (CME) escaped from the surface of the Sun, continues to haunt our planet. Surprisingly, the explosion took place on the farside of the Sun which should not have affected us, but as it was traveling at a mind-numbing speed of 3000 kilometers per second and created shock waves that pushed some of the CME particles towards the Earth. The impact was so severe that both the ends of the Earth witnessed aurora lights.The incident was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “ CME struck Earth's magnetic field yesterday, March 15th. The impact was so strong, it sparked auroras over both ends of our planet…This is the time of year when Northern and Southern Lights can be seen ...

TERRIFYING! ‘Extremely rare’ farside CME blast sparks solar storm on Earth, NASA says

[ad_1] A strange incident occurred in the early hours of yesterday, March 13. The NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detected that after a huge explosion, a powerful wave of coronal mass ejection (CME) escaped from the surface of the Sun. This event should not have concerned the Earth under normal circumstances since the event took place on the farside of the Sun (the side of the Sun opposite to the Earth). However, the CME blast was deemed extremely rare as it was traveling at a mind-numbing speed of 3000 kilometers per second. The shock waves from the event pushed some of the CME particles towards the Earth as well and caused a solar storm. Check details.The event was reported by SpaceWeather.com which reported on its website, “Something big just happened on the farside o...

New sunspot SPLITS in 2, says NASA; Will it blast another solar storm at Earth?

[ad_1] Finally, the notorious sunspot AR3234 has left the Earth-facing side of the Sun. This sunspot plagued the Earth with a series of explosions that caused multiple M-class and two X-class solar flare explosions. But just when it seemed that the Sun was quieting down, another sunspot has now come to the view. AR3245 is a newly formed sunspot which is giving headaches to astronomers. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has reported that the core of the sunspot has split in two halves. There is a possibility that this has made the sunspot unstable and it can blast a violent solar storm towards the Earth. Check details.The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “Sunspot AR3245 is splitting in two. The bright, linear gap between the sunspot's two ...
