Incoming CIR could spark solar storm on Earth TODAY; Know all about it

[ad_1] The Earth this month has seen quite a few impacts due to the solar activities on the Sun, including a couple of solar flare eruptions and consequent radio blackouts, but so far we have not seen any solar storm events. But that is expected to change later today, October 12, as a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast has revealed that our planet is likely to be hit by a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) that can spark a solar storm event. Know the likely impact of this solar storm, and why events like CIR occur.According to a report by SpaceWeather.com, “NOAA forecasters say that a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) could hit Earth later today. CIRs are shock-like transition zones between fast- and slow-moving streams of solar wind. Think of them as m...

Terrifying solar storm cracks open Earth’s magnetic field

[ad_1] After a brief period of quiet, the Earth has been bombarded with solar particles that have sparked a terrifying solar storm event. Interestingly, the solar storm was not triggered by a coronal mass ejection, which is usually responsible for such events. Instead, it was caused by the solar winds. Reports suggest that multiple solar winds smacked into the Earth's magnetosphere, causing it to weaken and cracks to open up in its structure, an occurrence known as a co-rotating interaction region. The crack allowed solar winds to spark the solar storm.As per a report by SpaceWeather.com, “Earth's magnetic field remains unsettled on June 16th following yesterday's impact of a co-rotating interaction region (CIR). CIRs are transition zones between solar wind streams. Solar wind plasma pi...

Dangerous CME to strike the Earth and cause massive solar storm; Know the danger

[ad_1] A large cloud of coronal mass ejection (CME) is moving towards the Earth and will cause a solar storm on January 19. Know how it can impact us. The solar activity on the Sun continues to increase as astronomers point out multiple sunspots emerging there. Reports suggest that if this continues, the month of January 2023 can break a 20-year record for highest number of sunspots in a month. And this record has terrifying consequences for the Earth. Our planet has already suffered multiple solar storms and solar flare eruptions, but it appears that the onslaught will continue. Another cloud of coronal mass ejection (CME) is headed towards us and can strike the Earth on January 19. So, what could be the impact of such a solar storm?The development was reported by SpaceWeather.com wh...

SCARY CME hits Earth, causes massive solar storm; Satellite tossed around, may be lost

[ad_1] A massive solar storm, caused by coronal mass ejections (CME) struck the Earth today, January 4. The impact to the magnetosphere was so strong that a satellite was pushed out of its path. Yesterday, it was reported that coronal mass ejections (CME) released from the Sun during an eruption on December 30th were moving towards the Earth and were going to cause a massive solar storm event when it reached us. CME-induced solar storms are more intense than usual and scientists were concerned about its impact. It finally struck the magnetosphere of our planet at 8:24 AM today, January 4, resulting in furious magnetic flux. The impact was so strong that an Australian satellite recorded a deviation from its path. If it is not able to regain its position, it could be lost forever. Read ...

Dangerous solar storm to strike tomorrow as slow moving CME rushes towards Earth

[ad_1] A dangerous solar storm is being expected tomorrow, January 4, which is going to be caused by a slow-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) moving towards the Earth. Know how it affects us. The new year has started with a flurry of solar storms thrown out by the Sun towards the Earth. After being struck with solar storms on both December 31 and January 1, it was reported that yet another solar storm was brewing on the Sun. And now, it is nearing close to our planet as researchers predict that the dangerous solar storm will reach Earth tomorrow, January 2. Interestingly, this solar storm will be caused by slow-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) particles which were released by the Sun on December 30. So, what could happen when this storm strikes the Earth? Read on to find out.The de...

Solar storm danger! Unstable sunspot can send horrifying X-Class solar flares towards Earth today

[ad_1] Sunspot AR3165 has become unstable and is set to explode, sparking a solar storm. It can send dangerous X-class solar flares towards the Earth today, December 15. A massive solar storm may well hit Earth sometime today. Earlier this week, it was reported that a massive region on the Earth-facing side of the Sun was filled with sunspots and magnetic filaments, which make it a highly reactive area prone to explosions. These explosions could throw powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) and spark destructive solar disturbances. Now, the fear has come true as one of the sunspots, AR3165, has turned unstable and is cracking crackling with solar flares. The sunspot has already spewed out a medium solar flare last night and now there are chances of an X-class solar flar...

Terrifying solar storm strikes Earth! Carried by solar winds moving at 500 km/s

[ad_1] Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event today, December 9, with solar winds traveling as fast as 500 km per second. More storms are expected to follow. In the last couple of days, the threat of fast-moving solar winds has been building up for Earth. An active region on the Sun spewed these magnetized solar particles towards the Earth which have been galloping towards the Earth at a reckless speed of 500 kilometers per second. Yesterday, the first batch of these solar winds struck the Earth and created a co-rotating interaction region (CIR), a hole in the magnetosphere of our planet. As a result, these subsequent solar winds will have an easier time getting inside our atmosphere and they can cause an intense solar storm event. Read on to know the consequences of these s...

BEWARE! Dangerous solar storm to hit Earth tomorrow

[ad_1] An extremely active sunspot has thrown out a coronal mass ejections (CME) and it is directed at the Earth. This is set to spark a solar storm on Earth tomorrow, December 8. The Sun is confusing everyone. Just yesterday, we had an off-chance of a minor solar storm possibility due to fast-moving solar winds that were approaching the Earth. And today, as many as five different sunspots and two filaments of magnetism have emerged on the Earth-facing disk side of the Sun. This is the most active the Sun has been in months and it is directed entirely at our planet. If any explosion sets off, it would mean a massive burst of magnetic waves hitting our planet and causing all kinds of destruction. While we monitor that, a solar flare burst from the Sun's active region and it is headed f...

Solar storm WARNING! Fast moving solar wind set to strike Earth; Know when

[ad_1] According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth between December 8 and 9, caused by fast-moving solar wind. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. In the last couple of months, solar activity has reduced in frequency. This is highly unusual because as we know, the Sun is getting closer to the peak of its Solar cycle known as the Solar Maximum. The peak will be reached sometime in the first half of 2023. The lack of strong solar flares or direct coronal mass ejection (CME) hits to Earth is being considered a coincidence since there have been quite a few explosions on the farside. But now, things appear to change as there are five big sunspots and multiple magnetic filaments facing the Earth which can set off any moment. And the first assault o...

Dangerous solar storm smashes into Earth with solar winds clocked at terrifying 700km a sec

[ad_1] Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event yesterday with solar winds travelling as fast as 700 km per second and even worse is expected. The previous week Earth was blasted by multiple solar storm strikes and it appears that the ongoing week is not going to be any different. The Sun has spit out a wave of terrifyingly fast moving solar winds towards Earth yesterday, November 29 and it sparked a solar storm. The solar storm disrupted GPS activity as well as radiowave propagation affecting HAM radio operations. Even worse solar storms are expected to follow in the week. This increased solar activity is due to the Sun approaching the peak of its current solar cycle, which is due sometime during the first half of 2023. Know how dangerous this solar storm was and how bad it c...
