Be careful! Earth could face a terrifying CME storm today! The risk of power failure is lurking around the Earth
The Sun threw solar particles towards Earth and could cause a strong CME storm today. Know if it can cause radio loss.
Few days ago, Sun almost exploded. A magnetic filament spews out on face ours star and it soared thousands of kilometers in the sky. It was detected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) DSCOVR telescope and it reports that magnetized solar particles, also known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have been detected. thrown in the direction of the Earth. If our planet were to face the full burden of this CME storm, it could cause widespread power outages, GPS interrupt and even make the device portable phone and the Internet is temporarily inaccessible. Read on to learn about the possibility of a CME storm and the consequences it could have on Earth.
The development is report of SpaceWeather.com stated, “A CME is heading towards Earth and it could graze our planet’s magnetic field on October 7 or 8. The storm cloud was hurled into space on October 4. by a magnetic filament erupting in the southern hemisphere of the sun”. The intensity of the storm that Earth may suffer has not been confirmed, but it could cause solar disturbances from G1 to G3.
Earth could face a powerful CME storm
However, there is a turning point in the story. It is not entirely certain whether this storm will hit Earth. The way the prediction system works is that the DSCOVR telescope observes any new activity on the Sun and tracks the direction and speed of the eruption, along with other metrics like magnitude, magnetism, etc. This data is then added to graphs and prediction models to further calculate the path and assess whether solar particles could hit Earth, and measure the intensity of the storm.
However, in this particular case, NOAA telescope It was not possible to completely track the CME storm due to confusion with nearby CMEs of the same time and it caused gaps in the coronagraph. Therefore, it is impossible to be certain whether Earth will be hit by a storm – it may graze us or it may miss us altogether.
However, if it ends up on us, the CME storm could cause shortwave radio blackouts in daylight regions of the Earth and disrupt GPS services. Furthermore, a particularly strong storm that could also knock down cellular networks could be a major concern.
