New York-Sana
The US Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration revealed that a solar storm may hit the Earth during the coming hours, which could lead to major problems in the power grids.
And the American newspaper “USA Today” reported that the storm is expected to lead to the appearance of aurora borealis similar to the aurora borealis over northern England, New York and southern parts of Australia, explaining that the solar storm is caused by a type of solar flare called “coronal mass emission” “CM”. That is, it means a huge ejection of plasma from the outermost layer of the sun called the corona.
The solar flare occurred yesterday, and the result is expected to be a solar storm today, and the storm can affect communications by disrupting radio signals, as happened in 1989 when a strong solar storm caused the release of many electrically charged particles on the ground, which led to the loss of the province Canadian Quebec nine-hour energy.
