In the last ten days, the Earth has only suffered one minor solar storm. All the sunspots on the Earth-facing solar disk, which reached as many as 12 at a point, have also disappeared and our planet is enjoying a brief period of calm. But there is a possibility that it is just the calm before the storm! NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has detected two groups of sunspots on the farside of the Sun. As these sunspots slowly turn to face the Earth, there are fears among astronomers that the Earth can again see a phase…

The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory has entered its eclipse season. Know what it is and whether the Earth will be blind to incoming solar storms. How do we know when a solar storm is about to hit Earth? A large part is because of the space telescopes and spacecraft that are continuously monitoring the Sun for any sign of solar activity. This is the reason we always get a 24 to 48 hours preparation time whenever a solar storm arrives. And a major part of the process is the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). However,…

NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory has issued a warning for a possible solar storm in days to come as sunspot AR3190 turns unstable. It can even cause radio blackouts on Earth. Even as Earth narrowly escaped a solar storm attack on Tuesday, fresh concerns from a gigantic sunspot have emerged. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has been observing the sunspot AR3190, the huge sunspot that can even be seen through unaided eyes, and it appears that this solar region is setting itself up for an explosion. If it does…

There is a chance that a powerful geomagnetic storm may hit Earth between January 14-15 as the Sun has blasted a coronal mass ejection towards the planet. Know how it may affect us. After a brief period of quiet this week and narrowly escaping a strong possibility of an X-class solar flare eruption, now the Earth is faced with the prospect of being pummeled by a geomagnetic storm. This particular storm can strike our planet today, January 14, or even January 15. As a result of multiple medium solar flares erupting…

The Earth has just suffered a direct hit by a solar storm. The resulting radiation has caused a shortwave radio blackout over South America. Since the beginning of 2023, the Earth has become a target of vicious solar activity. After suffering a solar storm right on the new year's day, the Earth also became a victim of another eruption in the first week of January. But now, the Sun has blasted the Earth with an even stronger solar flare. According to NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), an X1.9-class solar flare…

After causing an X-class solar flare yesterday, January 6, the sunspot AR3182 is now threatening the Earth with more solar storm activity. Check details. Yesterday, January 6, it was reported that an X-class solar flare struck the Earth and caused a shortwave radio blackout over a large area of South Pacific, including Australia and New Zealand. Now, NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has revealed that the solar flare came from a sunspot called AR3182. Notably, this is the same sunspot that caused a massive…

An extremely active sunspot has thrown out a coronal mass ejections (CME) and it is directed at the Earth. This is set to spark a solar storm on Earth tomorrow, December 8. The Sun is confusing everyone. Just yesterday, we had an off-chance of a minor solar storm possibility due to fast-moving solar winds that were approaching the Earth. And today, as many as five different sunspots and two filaments of magnetism have emerged on the Earth-facing disk side of the Sun. This is the most active the Sun has been in months…

A massive sunspot has been spotted on the Sun, reveals NASA. There is a risk that it can explode and send a powerful solar storm towards the Earth. All throughout the month of November, the Earth had to endure the ordeals of a large number of solar storms. Luckily, these disturbances from the Sun were not too powerful and did not cause much damage. However, that might soon change. The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a satellite which has been tasked with observing the Sun, has observed a frightening development.…
