Solar Storm will bring stunning auroras as NOAA issues solar flare warning

[ad_1] A recent solar storm has resulted in the formation of stunning auroras which were captured from Earth as well as from space. Solar storms have been a frequent occurrence these past few months due to the Sun being at the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. Another batch of solar flares were sent hurtling towards the Earth from a sunspot on August 26, Friday. Spaceweather.com said in a statement, “Sunspot AR3089 is crackling with a series of intensifying M-class solar flares.” A huge solar flare was observed at 7:16 a.m. EDT, causing radio blackouts in Africa and Europe, according to NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has also warned that a strong solar flare which e...

Sun is acting STRANGE! A sunspot with Weird magnetic field spotted; Is another solar storm coming?

[ad_1] A perpendicular sunspot with its magnetic field rotated by 90 degrees was spotted on the Earth-facing solar disk. This is a very unusual sight and has scientists confused. Can this be the onset of a massive solar storm? As we near the peak of the 25th solar cycle of the Sun, which is due in 2023, the Sun is behaving more erratically. The increasing number of sunspots have been showing signs of peculiarity lately. Just a couple of days ago, we witnessed a sunspot which grew 10 times in size and became a part of a dual sunspot cluster. And today, a new sunspot has been observed which is displaying a very peculiar magnetic field. Instead of horizontal magnetic fields, this sunspot has them vertically, rotated at 90-degree...

An Earth-Killer Solar Storm? Horrific destruction our Sun can wreak on humanity

[ad_1] If a strong enough solar storm heads for Earth, could it destroy all life on the planet and cause total annihilation? Read on to find out. Solar Storms have been battering Earth for billions of years. The same is continuing and with the Sun at its volatile best during its latest 11-year solar cycle, it is spewing fire at Earth. These solar storms also cause major after-effects which can destroy the power and communications infrastructure on Earth. However, could such a strong solar storm ever hit Earth that it annihilates all life on the planet? Or could Earth fight back and survive? In a battle between solar storms vs Earth, who wins?What is a Solar StormSolar storms occur due to a coronal mass ejection (CME) that is ...

This astonishing solar storm sparks geomagnetic storm, kills satellite

[ad_1] An intense geomagnetic storm that was sparked by a solar storm ejected by the Sun, caused Intelsat's Galaxy 15 satellite to become uncontrollable. Check details here. The Sun is throwing up dangerous flares in all directions and some are directed at the Earth. While we recently read about a few solar storms creating beautiful auroras in different parts of the world, a storm that arrived close to Earth on August 19 killed the Galaxy-15 broadcast satellite operated by international satellite firm, Intelsat. The firm has lost control of its satellite after it was presumably disabled by space weather on August 19. Intelsat is attempting to regain control of the Galaxy 15 broadcast satellite now. A report by Spacenews.co...

Shocking! Sunspot grows 10 times its size! Giant G5 class solar storm coming for Earth?

[ad_1] A new sunspot, AR3085, has been spotted by scientists. Worryingly, this sunspot has grown ten times its size in just two days. Will this spell a disaster for Earth with a G5 class solar storm? Find out. It seems that the Sun is regaining its violent demeanor after a week of low activity. Even as the Sun is moving towards the peak of its solar cycle, the solar activity was surprisingly low the previous week. Even the sunspot which was capable of producing M-class solar flares disappeared without an explosion. But all that is about to change. A new sunspot has appeared on the Sun which has worried the scientists. This sunspot grew ten times its original size in just two days. Worse still, it has now joined up with anothe...

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. ...
