The danger from space: experts warn of solar storms

According to American experts, the Earth is only in the eye of the storm: Currently, the intensified sun is the advent of the storm. With far-reaching consequences.

Update May 16, 2019, 10:52 p.m.: If experts at the U.S. weather agency hold NOAA right, the weather is going to be nasty this week. But the authority is not referring to cold temperatures or the likelihood of rain, but to the weather in the sun almost 150 million kilometers away. These are the storms for this week, the probability of geomagnetic storms – the Sun – increases by 75 percent.

The probability of solar storms is high

Especially in the period between May 15 and 17, the danger for the Earth from the impact of a solar storm is particularly great, reports spaceweatherarchive.com. However, the intensity must not exceed a moderate level of risk (G2). Between the cases, it is likely that electrical devices and the electrical grid cannot be turned off, but only intense auroras, which occur when storms hit the Earth’s magnetic field.

Basically, sunny storms, but very dangerous for our technological world. Not only can you cause power grids and cell phones to fail, but you can also affect satellites. They are not protected on your career outside the atmosphere before the magnetic rays of solar storms.

initial message: Dangerous weather phenomenon Experts warn of unpredictable consequences

Munich – Not only on earth, there are weather phenomena, including our star – the Sun – storms that were often huge. The consequences are felt within us. Usually not much happens, except that at night in the north you can see beautiful green lights in the sky: the northern lights. But if the storms are too strong, then the earth’s magnetic field can no longer fight with them, and then huge problems for all of humanity threaten, writes spaceweatherarchive.com.

Dangerous weather phenomenon: There is a long solar minimum, threatening small sunspots

For 2019/2020 scientists said solar minimum to predict. This means that there are few or no sunspots on the surface of the sun. This state changes cyclically in an eleven-year cycle. Thus, from 2012 to 2014 there was a solar maximum, and thus a greater volume of solar storms. At this point, we are going into the 25th solar cycle since records began in the 19th century. century. Experts predict a weak cycle, like the previous one.

But just because the sun is entering a quieter phase and the little sun has spots, that doesn’t mean it’s inactive. The minimum magnetic field of our star is weaker than usual. Thus, more cosmic radiation enters the solar system. These charged particles can cause numerous problems on earth, writes the scientific portal spaceweatherarchive.com. The radiation to which air passengers are exposed is increasing, for example. Also, the upper atmospheric electricity can change. Among other things, he is responsible for the formation of Bljesko.

A dangerous weather phenomenon – solar storms can destroy our civilization

Just because the sun is moving, just at the sunspot minimum, that doesn’t mean there aren’t solar storms. The probability of this is significantly reduced. However, researchers said for 2020, Mega-storm in advance, as reported by news.de. It could be satellites, and our power grid is dangerous and causes cell phone and GPS networks to fail. He could once again return to civilization in the pre-industrial age. However, the probability of this storm hitting, according to American researcher Pete Riley, is only twelve percent.

There are also rumors online that a prolonged solar minimum may cause a mini ice age. It happened before. In the 17th century. For centuries there was a Maunder minimum, named after the English astronomer Edward Walter Maunder. It lasted all 70 years and led, along with other factors, to a significant cooling, especially in the northern hemisphere. However, everything is clear to the scientists. It won’t come so far this time.

solar storms are not only dangerous on earth. Our neighboring planet Mars, you especially. Another astronomical phenomenon is at the door. In April, a new shooting star before we swarm – the Lyrids. And speaking of sunny weather, such weather will accompany us in the following days as well
