Massive EXPLOSION on Sun blasts CME; Solar storm to wreak havoc on Earth

[ad_1] A few days ago, several astronomers warned about the high number of magnetic filaments present on the Earth-facing side of the Sun. These looping structures are filled with plasma and magnetic fields and they are set off randomly causing big explosions on the surface of the Sun. And just hours ago, today, April 21, the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted a massive blast in one of the filaments. It was also seen that a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud was also hurled toward our planet. Early predictions indicate that the resultant solar storm can be a dangerous one.The information comes from a SpaceWeather report which noted on its website, “A magnetic filament snaking across the sun's southern hemisphere erupted today, hurling a CME toward Earth. The explosion defini...

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/...

Gigantic hole on Sun to spark dazzling auroras as far as New York as Solar storm imminent

[ad_1] Just a couple of days ago, a CME grazed Earth which had a ripple effect and its presence alone sparked auroras in the Arctic Circle. Moreover, a spotted Sun during sunrise was detected by astrophotographers in regions of higher altitudes, which could lead to disastrous consequences in the near future. However, there is more pressing concern as a large hole was observed on the solar surface, one which could lead to a dangerous solar storm as well as stunning auroras.According to a report by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a coronal hole was observed in the Sun's magnetic field which could spark a solar storm tomorrow, March 24. This solar storm is expected to bring about a G2-class Geomagnetic storm, as per the NOAA report. Stunning auroras to be ...

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...
