danger blackout Spread internationally. There will be one reason solar storm going on these days. there NASA An eruption of dark plasma from the Sun has been captured, which has a 60% chance of causing blackouts on Earth this week. A very scary word to see half the world paralyzed on Friday July 19th.

A dark cloud

The Sun light As the Daily Mail explains, about 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit (F) is about a quarter of the temperature of the Sun's “hottest” solar flares, which average 144,000 degrees F and are better understood by scientists. there National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned Monday that this pulse of dark plasma could lead to “power grid fluctuations.” there NASA With a video from him Solar Dynamic Observatory A dark cloud of cool sunlight erupted from the Sun as the plasma flowed northward across the Sun's surface.

Risk of power outages on Friday

The Glowing Disruption of radio, air communication and satellite operations with increased probability on Friday. Over the past decade, “cool” solar flares have been the subject of research by astrophysicists. They are not inferior in microwave radiation to “hot” sunlight, but produce higher peak frequencies than synchroton. This emission is a continuous non-thermal process in which charged particles, usually electrons or protons, are accelerated by a magnetic field with extreme relativistic velocities. Detected sunburn Class M and erupted from the sunspot region named on Sunday AR3757. NOAA has advised there is a 60% chance of additional moderate or greater solar flares Class M 15% chance of sunshine within the next 24 hours Class (very serious) very serious. It can be tempting Radio blackout All over the world. There were six solar flares earlier in the week Class M They have already caused international radio disturbances in the Western Hemisphere and parts of Asia. According to the Center for Space Weather Prediction at the University of Athens, the massive one led to a radio blackout in the Pacific.

The risk increased over the next two years

Solar flares are divided into four categories in ascending order: B, C, M and Earth is set to face more severe solar storms next year, peaking in July 2025. Jonathan McDowellIt works in collaboration with the American Research Institute Smithsonian and Center for Astrophysics Harvard, told the Daily Mail: “We could easily get very big storms in the next year or two. “It's definitely a scary time for satellite operators.” The explosions can cause auroras in the sky, disrupting radio communications and power grids.
