Scary! Huge sunspot on the Sun could double in size, hurl solar flares

[ad_1] A scary sunspot could combine with another sunspot and hurl solar flares towards Earth! Here’s what you need to know. The solar activity is nearly at its peak due to the Sun being in the middle of its 11-year solar cycle, which has resulted in increased solar output. Our planet has been in the firing line of solar flares, solar storms, Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and more for quite a while and more are expected as the Sun moves ahead in its cycle. Although this solar activity might seem harmless due to the distance of the Sun from our planet, they can cause major damage.Now, scientists are constantly observing increasing activity at a Sunspot named AR3157, on the surface of the Sun. It has been observed emitting plumes into space, according to a report by spaceweather.com. Th...

Horror unfolding on the far side of Sun, apocalyptic solar storm coming towards Earth?

[ad_1] One of the largest sunspots seen in the last five years emerges on the farside of the Sun. Can it bring an apocalyptic solar storm event to the Earth? For months, scientists have warned that the frequency and intensity of solar disturbances will be increasing significantly as the Sun reaches close to the peak of its solar cycle. And it appears that the first sign of the Sun's wrath is already upon us. Using its technology through a method called Helioseismology, researchers have observed a sunspot on the farside of the Sun. And while sunspots are regular occurrences, this one is one of the largest sunspots seen in the last five years. If it explodes, it will definitely cause an extreme solar storm event which can damage both satellites in space and electronics on ground. From i...

Solar storm WARNING! Powerful CME ejected by the Sun set to strike Earth today

[ad_1] The Earth will be tormented by a powerful solar storm today, November 22. The incoming solar disturbance has been caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) spewed out by the Sun. In the last couple of weeks, the onslaught of solar storms has increased multifold. Every other day, the Earth is struck by a solar storm with a varying degree of intensity that is causing all sorts of troubles for us including, GPS disruption, radiowave blackouts and more. And it is not likely to stop anytime soon. Today, November 22, a powerful solar storm is expected to strike the Earth sparked by a coronal mass ejection (CME). Read on to know about its consequences.The development was noted in a report by SpaceWeather.com which stated, “NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of minor G1-class solar s...

Solar Storm smashes through Earth’s magnetic field! Rare pink auroras streak the sky

[ad_1] A recent solar storm put a hole in the magnetosphere, allowing dangerous solar particles to pass through. The Sun is in the middle of its 11-year solar cycle leading to an increase in solar activity and solar output in the past few months. As the Sun further enters the peak of its solar cycle, more solar storms are expected to spark geomagnetic storms on the planet. Strong Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been observed being emitted from the Sun in the past couple of days. However, none have caused a physical effect as big as the Solar storm which hit Earth on November 3.According to Live Science, a solar storm hit Earth on November 3, smashing through the Earth's magnetosphere, which is the magnetic field around the planet. Although the hole in the Earth's magnetic field was...

This scary Solar storm to spark Geomagnetic storm today! Danger ahead

[ad_1] A Geomagnetic storm warning has been issued today as a solar storm races towards Earth. Potentially, it could cause major damage. Earth has faced numerous solar flares these past few months and more are expected as the Sun moves ahead in its cycle. The Sun is in the middle of its 11-year solar cycle leading to an increase in solar activity and solar storms over the last few months. Strong Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been observed being emitted from the Sun in the past couple of days. Now, a geomagnetic storm warning has been issued for today as these frighteningly powerful CMEs will hit Earth's magnetosphere today.According to spaceweather.com, “A high-speed stream of solar wind is gently buffeting Earth's magnetosphere today. As a result, there is a chance of minor G1-c...

Terrifying! When solar storm slammed into Earth and made magnetic field explode; LISTEN

[ad_1] The sound of Earth's magnetic field after a solar storm strike is really scary. The European Space Agency has released the same. Listen now. Do you want to know how Earth's magnetic field sounds after a solar storm strike? It is terrifying! It happened just a couple of days ago and you can listen to the scary sound today. The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an audio track of converted data which provides a disturbing sonic representation of the Earth's magnetic field. It can be known that the Earth's magnetic field is not something we can actually see in itself, or ever hear. However, scientists at the Technical University of Denmark have taken magnetic signals measured by ESA's Swarm satellite mission and converted them into sound after the solar storm strike – and th...

Scary smiley face on Sun today to spark dangerous solar storm on Earth; check date

[ad_1] A terrifying smiley face on the Sun has appeared today. It is unleashing solar winds towards the Earth that can cause a dangerous solar storm on Earth on October 28. The Sun is smiling upon us today but not the kind that brings you good luck. A smiley face has appeared on the Sun and it can have terrifying consequences for us. Three dark spots have emerged on the Sun due to the build up of a high magnetic field. These three spots have created the shape of a smiley face. But these spots are releasing a complex stream of solar wind toward Earth. These solar winds can cause an intense solar storm on Earth on October 28. Know how this can impact the Earth. Read on.This development was reported by SpaceWeather.com which noted on its website, “There is a smiley face on the sun today....

Terrifyingly powerful solar flare smashes into Earth; causes blackouts in Africa, solar storm coming today?

[ad_1] An M-class solar flare, the strongest of its kind, struck Earth yesterday. The powerful burst of X-rays and UV radiation caused a radio blackout all over Africa. Know if a solar storm will hit today. The Sun took a violent turn yesterday. A solar flare erupted from within the sunspot AR3098. This was no ordinary sunspot as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) classified it as an M-class solar flare. This is one of the strongest types of solar flares that exist. The event was recorded using the tech marvel DSCOVR satellite. It has various instruments to observe temperature, speed, density, degree of orientation and frequency of solar particles ejecting from the Sun and calculates their intensity. T...

Earth faces Triple-Threat from the Sun! Destructive solar storm could strike us soon

[ad_1] Three sunspots are coming together on the Earth-facing side of the Sun and they can cause a terrifying solar storm strike on our planet. One of the sunspots, AR3088, became notorious for blasting extremely powerful solar radiation at Venus. The Earth has been luckily escaping the wrath of the Sun even as it ramps up its volatility as it goes through its 11-year solar cycle. Today, Earth stands in a very difficult situation because of these constant solar storms. Some of the strongest solar storms this year were fortunately directed towards Venus and not Earth, with the most recent one coming just the previous week. But now, things are changing and a terrifying time might be coming for our planet as the same sunspot res...
