Solar flares are one of the most striking events of nature. Solar flares, which have attracted more attention lately, are actually violent energy explosions that occur as a result of a sudden disruption in the Sun’s magnetic field. Depending on the type of explosion, these explosions can cause problems in electronic devices and affect the operation of satellites in earth orbit.
VIOLENT EXPLOSION ON THE SUN
According to the news of TRT Haber, now the World; It has been shaken by the strongest geomagnetic storm in recent years, especially affecting North America. Moreover, as reported, this storm has a lot of potential to cause problems in electronic devices. In addition, there is also a ‘Türkiye’ detail about this storm.
MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS IN ELECTRONIC VEHICLES
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a statement about the explosion in the Sun. The statement warned that the geomagnetic storm could cause problems in electronic devices. It was added that there may be problems with GPS.
These types of storms often occur as a result of charged particles coming to Earth from the Sun interacting with the atmosphere and can trigger magnetic storms.
The storm came from a blob 20 times the size of the Earth. A few days ago, a flare on the Sun caused a massive stream of particles directly towards Earth.
IT WAS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT IT WOULD BE THIS STRONG
Scientists who follow geomagnetic storms predicted that a solar storm could hit the planet after this event. However, it was not predicted that such a strong storm would be encountered. Analysis shows that the storm was actually the strongest in the last 6 years.
