next solar storm

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…

As the Earth reaches its perihelion, the Sun has sprung into action. After a solar storm struck yesterday, January 4, now a solar flare and a farside sunspot could hit our planet. Check details. The Sun has been extremely active the past few days, and it is a terrifying development for us. Right now, the Earth is in its perihelion, the point in its orbit where it is the closest to the Sun, and a hyperactive Sun can easily spell disaster for us. Yesterday, January 4, the Earth suffered a massive solar storm that even…

A massive solar storm, caused by coronal mass ejections (CME) struck the Earth today, January 4. The impact to the magnetosphere was so strong that a satellite was pushed out of its path. Yesterday, it was reported that coronal mass ejections (CME) released from the Sun during an eruption on December 30th were moving towards the Earth and were going to cause a massive solar storm event when it reached us. CME-induced solar storms are more intense than usual and scientists were concerned about its impact. It finally…

A dangerous solar storm is being expected tomorrow, January 4, which is going to be caused by a slow-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) moving towards the Earth. Know how it affects us. The new year has started with a flurry of solar storms thrown out by the Sun towards the Earth. After being struck with solar storms on both December 31 and January 1, it was reported that yet another solar storm was brewing on the Sun. And now, it is nearing close to our planet as researchers predict that the dangerous solar storm will…

Fast-moving solar winds can strike the Earth tomorrow, December 31 and spark the last solar storm of the year. Know how it can impact you. The Earth narrowly avoided a close encounter with a coronal mass ejection (CME) on Christmas, but before the year ends, our planet might face yet another solar storm onslaught. According to reports, fast-moving solar winds have escaped from the Sun and are headed towards us. This is likely to create a co-rotating interaction region by creating a hole in the Earth's magnetic field.…

Celebrations can be impacted by a dangerous Christmas solar storm that is likely to strike tomorrow, December 25. Know its consequences. Weather phenomena have turned hostile around the Christmas weekend. Right now, the USA is dealing with a once-in-a-generation ‘bomb cyclone' which has brought a blizzard storm in many parts of the country. Some areas have even reported a colder temperature than Antarctica. But that might not be all the weather-based disturbance that strikes the Earth. Tomorrow, December 25, there is a…

A dangerous solar storm struck Earth yesterday, December 19 after a solar wind shockwave opened a crack in our planet’s magnetosphere. Check details. Last week, scientists observed a highly unstable sunspot emerge on the Earth-facing disk on the Sun. The sunspot, officially known as AR3165, has been experiencing multiple explosions and has erupted more than 18 M-class solar flares ever since December 15. However, the worst impact of it came yesterday, December 19, when a shockwave in the solar wind struck the…

Sunspot AR3165 has become unstable and is set to explode, sparking a solar storm. It can send dangerous X-class solar flares towards the Earth today, December 15. A massive solar storm may well hit Earth sometime today. Earlier this week, it was reported that a massive region on the Earth-facing side of the Sun was filled with sunspots and magnetic filaments, which make it a highly reactive area prone to explosions. These explosions could throw powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) and spark…

Today, as many as 9 sunspots are facing Earth, the greatest number in the last 3 years. Is this a sign of a dangerous solar storm heading for our planet? Find out. Astrophysicists have been warning us about the approaching peak of the ongoing Solar Cycle 25 for months. And today, for the first time, we have received proof that the peak is indeed coming soon. Today, as many as nine different sunspots are on the Earth-facing disk of the Sun. This is the greatest number of sunspots scientists have seen since the beginning…

Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event today, December 9, with solar winds traveling as fast as 500 km per second. More storms are expected to follow. In the last couple of days, the threat of fast-moving solar winds has been building up for Earth. An active region on the Sun spewed these magnetized solar particles towards the Earth which have been galloping towards the Earth at a reckless speed of 500 kilometers per second. Yesterday, the first batch of these solar winds struck the Earth and created a…
