American scientists have predicted that a solar storm will disrupt power networks and satellite operations today due to a storm of charged particles streaming from the sun.
Experts at the US Space Weather Prediction Center warned in a statement that the storm could lead to some disruptions in the power grid, noting that the solar flare discovered last Tuesday threw a cloud of charged particles towards our planet .. Although the debris of the explosion does not target Earth However, it is expected to cause a small solar storm in the magnetosphere surrounding the Earth today.
And earlier this week, the center warned in its forecast of a "lightning strike" that would have an impact on space weather.
Coronal mass ejections or coronal mass ejections are defined as large ejections of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun that are sometimes associated with solar flares. Earth) dominated by the planet's magnetic field.
When this happens, the Earth's magnetic field weakens for six to 12 hours and will take a few days to fully recover. Solar storms can cause a wide range of effects from minor disturbances to satellite operations to complete power outages.
