Turn, Turn, Turn! Explosion on Sun’s farside raises solar storm threat for Earth?

[ad_1] A huge blast was spotted coming out from the farside of the Sun. This blast site will face the Earth in about a week. Can it send a dangerous solar storm to Earth? Just a couple of days ago, the Earth suffered the Halloween-day solar storm attack from our Sun that appeared to have a scary smiley plastered on it face due to some dark spots emerging suddenly on its surface. These dark spots (also known as sunspots) are sites with extremely high magnetic fields which get destabilized and explode. This is how the coronal mass ejections (CME) get shot towards the Earth. While the dark spots are gone, worse news for our planet has come. A massive explosion on the farside of the Sun was seen earlier today. This new blast site, which could be a potentially unstable sunspot, is going to...

Wrath of solar storm: Can it take down the Internet on Earth? Here is the shocking TRUTH

[ad_1] Solar storms regularly cause radio outages but can a powerful solar storm wipe out the internet on Earth? Find out. This week, the Earth has experienced a rare break from the continuous solar storm onslaught. But many believe that this is just the quiet before the big solar storm strikes. In the last 10 months, geomagnetic events coming from the Sun have caused multiple major outages on Earth. Notably, just a few weeks ago, a solar storm delayed the rescue operations taking place in the USA after the destruction of hurricane Ian by obstructing the radio channels which were being used for communications. But that is a small problem compared to what a solar storm can potentially do. A big fear has been whether a solar storm can wipe out the internet on Earth. A scientist has fina...

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...

The Sun nears its scary Solar Cycle peak, DESTRUCTIVE solar storm is on the cards

[ad_1] In 2023, the Sun will enter the solar maximum phase of its solar cycle. This is the peak of its volatility in this period when it is at its most unstable. That means multiple sunspots are expected to explode simultaneously during this period. This can result in a killer solar storm strike on Earth. In the last few days, the frequency of solar storms has increased, although their intensity remains low. As a result, these solar storms have not done any real damage on Earth except generate auroras in the northern sky mostly and temporarily blocking radio communications. However, a terrifying development can soon change all that. The Sun is approaching the peak of its 11-year long solar cycle, the solar maximum, in 2023. ...
