In days gone by solar flare It caught the attention of the different space observatories that are scattered around the world and, in recent weeks, the solar surface has had an extremely strange activity, registering explosions and solar flares that sometimes reach the Tierra and considerably affect satellites and electrical devices, such as the solar storm that will take place this July 21.
David Antolín was with us to tell us his great story.

According to the NASAsolar flares could be compared to the muzzle flash of a cannon and reach the Tierra in a matter of minutes loaded with particles that interact with the atmosphere.
Such is the case of the solar winds derived from the fracture of the fire cannon filament in the Solwhich will make landfall this July 21 in the form of a solar storm category G1 (weak), as reported by the portal Spaceweather.com.
This same portal pointed out that it is probable that the following days various geomagnetic storms of lower intensity of class G1, however, these events will begin this Thursday, July 21, when a coronal mass ejection collides with the Earth’s magnetic field.
How can it affect the Earth?
This ejection can affect the Tierra in different ways when interacting with the magnetosphere causing the compression and modification of its structure, creating new magnetic fields of greater complexity.

This would lead to interruptions in radio and satellite communications, as well as power outages in extreme cases. Fortunately its level is low, which could only cause fluctuations in the electrical network and impact almost imperceptibly with terrestrial satellites; however, it would affect migratory animals.
“Its arrival on July 22 could amplify any storms that the Earth creates. CMEprolonging the disturbances until July 23 ”, details the Spaceweather.com portal.

What you should know about solar storms
–
Los solar filaments like the one that resulted from the fracture of the fire cannon are arcs of electrified gas of great size that pass through the atmosphere of the Sol.
These filaments are also highly unstable and once they collapse, they can spew out explosive jets of solar wind, known as coronal mass ejections. LiveScience.
These filaments were observed on July 12, but one of them managed to cross the northern hemisphere on July 15 and erupted, forming on the surface a fire canyon approximately 384,400,000 kilometers long and 20,000 kilometers deep.
