Is it dangerous? Three “solar storms” are set to hit Earth tonight

May 9, 2024 Thai Astronomical Society; The Thai Astronomy Society revealed on its Facebook page. Thai Astronomical Society regarding “solar storm” He stated that it had an impact on the world “solar storm” At least 3 missiles will likely hit the world on Friday night.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects this to lead to a G3 out of 5 geomagnetic storm. These solar storms were formed as a result of the eruption of dark spot cluster AR3664 over the past two days.

“solar storm” What is the reason for this?

1. Solar wind

Solar wind results from the expansion of the Sun's corona with higher thermal energy. When it expands until the particles escape the sun's gravity, they escape from the sun in all directions until they cover the solar system. This phenomenon occurs near the north and south poles of the sun. With a large coronal cavity, the coronal cavity is where violent, high-speed solar winds blow from the Sun into that region.

While solar winds that occur near the Sun's equator will have a low speed, solar winds arise from the expansion of the corona along the Sun's equator. Its average cruising speed is about 450 kilometers per second. After that, it will accelerate to approximately 800 kilometers per second.

2. Solar flares

Solar flares are caused by violent explosions that occur in the chromosphere. They often occur above the boundary between the two poles of the magnetic field, as is the case at the center of the double black spot. Or between groups of black spots with complex magnetic disturbances. Which releases energy in the form of light and magnetic waves and various types of electricity that come out violently, but at present astronomers still do not know exactly how solar flares are formed.

3. Release of materials from the corona.

Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) Astronomers still don't know exactly how this happens. But it turns out that it often arises from other phenomena occurring at the lower level of the corona. We often find this happening with solar flares and prominences. But sometimes it can happen without these two phenomena at all. Moreover, the frequency of births also varies according to the solar cycle. This happens about once a week near solar minimum. If it is close to the zenith of the sun, it may occur two or three times a day.

4. High-energy particles from the sun

High-energy particles from the Sun, or geomagnetic storms, can occur in two ways. The first type occurs with solar flares. The other is caused by the ejection of high-velocity material from the corona that penetrates the solar wind. This causes shock waves to enter the Earth's magnetic field. High-energy solar particles are generated in this shock wave region.

“solar storm” How does it affect the world?

• A geomagnetic storm caused by the solar wind and the release of material from the corona
• Solar radiation storms are caused by high-energy particles from the Sun.
• Loss of radio signals is caused by solar flares and high-energy particles coming from the Sun.

NASA is watching “solar storm” Destroying the world's electrical system

Recently, NASA found out “solar storm” It has become more and more intense. It is expected to be stronger in 2025, and no one knows what will happen. But it is estimated that there is more than a 10% chance that this will lead to the collapse of the global Internet system. If this actually happens, it may last for several months.

By scientists, a “warning” technology is being developed before solar storms occur, using artificial intelligence to process images of phenomena on the surface of the sun. This system can be used to warn approximately 30 minutes in advance so that at least humans will try to keep the infrastructure running through various techniques. Before he is paralyzed by the intense solar storm that is about to occur

while “Ajarn Jess” Prof. Dr. Jesada Dinduangpurivan Lecturer, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University usually provides information about the solar wind, which is a stream of cosmic rays emerging from the sun. There is a regular cycle of violence, increasing every 11 years, that will complete in 2025.

The goal is to avoid problems that may arise from the online system. And other electrical systems caused by the influence of the strong solar wind of satellites and electrical transmission systems (which I still don't know how strong it is may not be anything at all. Or if you think the worst it may cause the Internet to go out for months) so NASA is trying to develop new technology . In order to detect it in advance in time, different systems will be able to protect themselves in time. Do not panic.

In this regard, Asharn Jess stated that solar winds have no effect on human health. At most I saw the northern lights. The southern lights are more beautiful depending on the area near the poles, and there was no effect on the Earth's surface. There is an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, or the world stops spinning, as is the case in the movie as well.
