“Solar Storm” being watched by NASA and experts predict that It is steadily increasing in intensity and is expected to peak in 2025, and it is also predicted that there is a greater than 10 percent chance that the system willinternet downaround the world, and if it actually happened, it could causeinternet downlasting for months
“Solar Storm” What is it? Why are there particles? causing an impact on the world’s electrical system In the history of 1859, a solar storm used to cause the telegraph system to crash and in 1989 caused Quebec power outage for 12 hours.
What is a solar storm?
solar storm (Solar storm) is a phenomenon. caused by the sun’s surface bursting up called “Blazing explosions” in which huge amounts of charged particles are ejected. This emanating electric charge will interfere with the communication system As a result, it paralyzes telecommunications, for example, preventing planes from communicating with the control tower. mobile phone not working including damaged satellites
Predicting the intensity of solar storms This can be done by examining sunspots. Because the dark spots are caused by magnetic field variability. More dark spots result in more electrically charged particles. resulting in more violence.
What is a solar storm caused by?
According to Wikipedia, there are four types of solar storms.
1. solar wind
Solar wind is caused by the expansion of the Sun’s corona with higher thermal energy. When it expands until the particles escape the gravitational pull of the sun. and fled from the sun in all directions. to cover the solar system The phenomenon occurs at the north and south poles of the Sun. with a large coronal cavity The coronal cavity is where the high-speed and intense solar wind blows from the sun in that region. While the solar wind that occurs near the Sun’s equator will have low speed The solar wind arising from this expansion of the sun’s equatorial corona It has an average starting speed of about 450 kilometers per second. After that, it will accelerate to approximately 800 kilometers per second.
2. solar flares
A solar flare is caused by a violent explosion in the chromosphere. And it usually occurs over the junction between the poles of the magnetic field, such as the center of the double black spot. or in the midst of clusters of black dots with complex turbulent magnetic fields which emits energy in the form of light and magnetic waves different types of electricity came out violently but nowadays Astronomers do not yet know exactly the mechanism for solar flares.
3. corona discharge
Coronal mass ejection (CME) Astronomers do not yet know exactly how this happens. But it has been found to be caused by other phenomena occurring at the lower corona level. often found Occurs in conjunction with solar flares and prominence. But sometimes it may happen without these two phenomena at all. In addition, the birth frequency also varies with the solar cycle. In the vicinity of the solar minimum, it may occur about once a week. If it is near the peak of the sun It may happen as often as 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 occurs in conjunction with solar flares. The other is caused by a high-velocity coronal ejection blasting into the solar wind. causing a shock wave to the earth’s magnetic field High-energy solar particles are generated in this shock wave region.
How do solar storms affect the world?
magnetic storm caused by solar wind and corona discharge Solar radiation storms are caused by high-energy particles from the Sun. Radio signal blackouts are caused by solar flares and high-energy particles from the Sun.
NASA watches “Solar Storm” destroys the Earth’s power system
latest NASA found solar stormis becoming more and more violent And it is expected to peak in 2025 and no one knows what will happen. But it is estimated that there is a chance of more than 10 percent that the global internet system will crash. And if it really happened, it could crash for months.
by scientist It is developing ‘warning’ technology before a solar storm, using AI to process images of phenomena on the sun’s surface. This system can be used to warn about 30 minutes in advance, so that at least Humans will try to maintain the infrastructure working through various techniques. before becoming paralyzed because of the upcoming intense solar storm
Simon Machin, an officer in charge of the British Meteorological Agency’s space weather programme, said the current knowledge and tools were available. still can’t notice Or can predict the occurrence of solar storms Because when we notice A solar storm has occurred. But experts still have some room to predict the likelihood of solar storms and systems related to power supply. Which has been used 15-20 years ago, has not tested its ability to withstand solar storms. or a global magnetic storm and if it actually happened There will be only 20 minutes to prepare.
while “Teacher Chet” Assoc.Prof.Dr.Jessada Denduangboribhand Lecturer, Department of Biology Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University Provides information that the solar wind, which is the stream of cosmic rays emitted from the sun, is usually There will be a “cycle” of increasing violence every 11 years, which will complete in 2025.
The point is to avoid problems that may arise from the Internet system. and other electrical systems caused by the effects of intense solar wind to satellites and power grids (Which I still don’t know how strong it will be. It might not be anything. Or if you think the worst It may cause the Internet to crash for months) NASA therefore tries to develop new technologies. In order to detect it in advance, in a timely manner, various systems can protect themselves in time. should not panic
In this regard, Teacher Jet stated that the solar wind does not have any impact on human health. At most, we could see the Northern Lights. The southern lights are more beautiful by area near the pole does not affect the earth’s surface an earthquake volcanic eruption or the world stops turning Like in the movie too
