The Earth will be tormented by a powerful solar storm today, November 22. The incoming solar disturbance has been caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) spewed out by the Sun. In the last couple of weeks, the onslaught of solar storms has increased multifold. Every other day, the Earth is struck by a solar storm with a varying degree of intensity that is causing all sorts of troubles for us including, GPS disruption, radiowave blackouts and more. And it is not likely to stop anytime soon. Today, November 22, a…

A dangerous solar storm is set to strike the Earth on November 20, caused by the fast-moving solar winds. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. In just a couple of months, the Sun will enter the peak of its solar cycle. While the exact date is not known, it is said that the peak, also known as solar maximum, will approach sometime in the first half of the year. What it would also mean is an increased number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun which will likely explode and release a large number…

According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth over the weekend of November 19-20. Know the dangers from the impact of this solar disturbance. The Earth is constantly battling the radiation and the attacks on its magnetic field coming from the Sun, but lately it has turned from bad to quite worse. After escaping from a potential G5-class solar storm event from an unstable sunspot recently, now another danger is coming for the Earth. A hole has emerged on the southern hemisphere of the Sun, which is…

Sunspot AR3141 has become unstable and is set to explode. It can send dangerous X-class solar flares towards the Earth today, November 11. Earlier this week, it was reported that a dangerous sunspot was turning slowly but surely, towards the Earth. This sunspot had already exploded once, expelling a huge burst of coronal mass ejections (CME) into space. Usually sunspots disappear after exploding once as the magnetic imbalance wears out. However, this sunspot has been getting stronger and now, it is facing the Earth.…

A massive sunspot can explode any moment, and spew out a powerful solar flare. This can even cause radio blackouts on Earth. In the last few days, the Earth was anticipating a big threat from the Sun. It is a gigantic sunspot called AR3141 which exploded last week resulting in a massive solar flare eruption on the farside of the Sun. If that solar flare had hit the Earth, it would have caused heavy radiation damage to satellites and wireless communication but luckily it wasn't facing our planet. However, the same…

According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth today, November 4. Know the dangerous impacts of this solar disturbance. Just a couple of days ago, it was revealed that a potentially gigantic sunspot on the farside of the Earth is slowly rotating to face the Earth. Last week, the sunspot exploded and released an extremely huge burst of coronal mass ejection (CME). Now, as it moves towards the Earth, there is a chance that it might explode again. But that is a concern for next week, as today the Earth is…

According to reports, a solar storm is set to strike the Earth tomorrow, October 29. Know the dangerous consequences of this solar disturbance. After a few days of downtime, the Sun has woken up in a rage! On October 26, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a space weather agency in the US reported that a powerful burst of solar winds escaped from the Sun's smiley face shaped dark spots. And now, the most recent predictions have revealed that the solar storm will strike the Earth tomorrow, October 29.…
