In the coming months the sun will bomb the Earth
Sunday, 11 March 2012
Despite warnings to ii risk of technological systems, the solar storm did not have the expected consequences.However, the next 18 months will be characterized by a high solar activity, which will produce up to six powerful electromagnetic storms that reach the Earth. This was stated last Friday by the celebrated British astrophysicist Maggie Aderin-Pocock.
"Now the Sun is at the height of its activity cycle of 11 years, although the storm did not cause any harm, I think it will be a more powerful," said Aderin-Pocock.
According to estimates by the international group of scientists, the current phase of solar activity will continue until 2013. "In future there will be tough times ahead," said the expert. The current eruption of CMEs, which still affects the Earth, began on Thursday after a solar flare situation, rather superficial.
According to experts, the solar storm in progress, do not hit the networks and telecommunications systems.However, many people in different countries have complained of further deterioration of health, as well as mood, which experts believe may be related to solar storms.
New storm at Earth.
A disastrous tsunami of plasma and 'was generated on the Sun last powerful eruption, which occurred yesterday. The event produced a swarm of high-energy particles, which is projected by the American Association for the oceans and atmosphere (NOAA), you may 'invest Earth.
The coming storm, and 'at the time classified in the category M, which indicates a level of intensity' intermediate between the class C (the most 'weak and practically without serious consequences) and the class X (the most' powerful and dangerous for the operation of satellites, telecommunications and power lines). A trigger tsunami solar 'still the same stain that within a few days resulted in two storms, called AR1429. According to experts of the center of the NASA Goddard the storm will be able to 'insvestire the Earth on the morning of 11 March.
Meanwhile the telescope SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) NASA has sent to Earth the first data of the solar tsunami, which has raised a plasma jet, ie electrically charged particles, the top one hundred kilometers and has hurled into space at speed 'of 250 kilometers per second, with a total energy of 2 million megatons (equal to that released by the explosion of 2,000 billion tons of TNT).
According to models developed by NASA's Goddard center and 'probable that the swarm of particles will reach Mars on March 13 and along the path to hit the American spacecraft MSL (Mars Science Lab), which is located on the rover-Laboratory Curiosity. It could be an advance of activity 'for the laboratory to seek life on Mars because its instruments could record some data on particle bombardment which they invest'.
