A KILLER solar storm is closer to Earth than you think; Internet to GPS threatened: Study

[ad_1] The next Carrington-level solar storm could appear on Earth within two to three decades, according to a study. Know the threat it comes with. Humans have been extremely lucky. The entire wireless and internet-based tech advancement that we have achieved over the last 50 year or so, came during a period when major solar storms were practically non-existent. As a result, we have placed 4,852 satellites (as of January 1, 2022) in space that are orbiting the Earth and helping us transmit huge amounts of data across the globe in mere seconds. We also have a network of undersea Internet cables stretching all across the oceans, connecting the world. But a study claims that this will not last forever and intense solar storm attacks will begin sooner than we think and these will likely ...

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 ...

Two HUGE sunspots are changing the way Sun vibrates; Is a dangerous solar storm coming?

[ad_1] Two new sunspots have been detected on the far-side of the Sun. These are so large that they are changing the way the Sun vibrates. One of them is going to face the Earth in two days. Will it cause an unprecedented solar storm? Find out. As the Sun nears its solar maximum, the peak of its solar activity, it is behaving in a far erratic manner. Last week it was observed that as many as 32 coronal mass ejection (CME) incidents took place, which is far higher than anything we have seen in recent times. And today, two sunspots on the far side of the Sun have been detected which are so large that it is affecting the entire gas giant. Due to the huge area of spread and strong electromagnetic fields, the Sun's vibration itsel...
