The authorities of the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States warned about the arrival of a storm solar that may affect digital communication systems such as television signals and cell phones. Satellite systems and even power grids could also stop working. They indicated that planet Earth will absorb the strong energies given off, hitting the southern zone with greater force.

“A solar storm is approaching the Earth and it is possible that it will hit our planet this Friday,” they warned from NOAA, the National Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency that is part of the United States Department of Commerce that is dedicated to analyze space weather.

The whole world could be on alert to this forecast, and despite the fact that many predict that it could become a major catastrophe, the Agency reported that it would be a low-ranking G1 solar storm, ruling out deadly consequences. .
“The solar atmosphere is composed of gases that are completely ionized by the high temperatures at which they are. This means that they are perfectly conductors of electric currents ”, explained Javier Rodríguez Pacheco, an expert in solar astrophysics.
He added that sometimes there are discharges, which we know as solar storms, and they can manifest as flares, as coronal mass ejections or both at the same time; and these manifestations can have consequences on the environment of the Solar System.
Thanks to data provided by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, scientists were able to develop a new eruption model of the Sol which successfully predicted 7 of the largest eruptions of the last solar cycle, out of a set of 9. With further development, the model could one day be used to inform forecasts of these intense bursts of solar radiation.
They indicated that solar flares are capable of producing strong X-rays that degrade or block the high-frequency radio waves used for radio communication. These huge explosions of plasma originate from highly twisted magnetic field structures on the Sun. When these explosions occur in active sunspot regions on the Sun, it is not uncommon to see them associated with large solar flares.
