Ongoing solar storm could cut off Earth's radio communications (9News)

The bursts - known as coronal mass ejections (CME) - are also causing bright auroras. Experts said a crack in the Earth's magnetic field opened on July 19, ...

"It was spectacular to see a very fast moving part of it ejecting and detaching to the side," Voltmer told SpaceWeather. Experts said a crack in the Earth's magnetic field opened on July 19, which allowed waves of wind and solar radiation to interact with the planet's magnetosphere and adding to the 'minor G1-class geomagnetic storm'. A solar storm is currently building around Earth, bringing with it the potential to disrupt radio and satellite communications.

The most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded resulted in the 1859 Carrington Event when telegraph lines electrified, destroying operators and setting ...

Several social media users shared the pictures of aurora shows captured by them during the solar storm. In mid latitudes, active aurora is possible with 10% possibility of a major storm. Space weather researcher Dr. Tamitha Skov recently predicted that a big solar storm was likely to strike the Earth with possibility of strong aurora shows.

Experts predict it could also result in minor geomagnetic storms, and it comes following a "sun burp" that occurred on Friday. Advertisement. Ad.

The sun goes through little eruptions all the time and when it does it releases plasma," he said. There's a million tales to tell and I'm enjoying bringing them to you.

"Space weather monitoring and forecasting is therefore critical to maintaining the integrity of space-related services in Australia," it said. "There's a lot more satellites and activity in space since the sun was last active seven years ago," he said. "It's a stream of particles from the sun, it's essentially energy."

Solar storm on path for 'direct hit' with Earth to wreak havoc on radio ... (4BC)

A solar storm is due to hit earth, with the potential to cause disruptions to radio and satellite communications.

A major solar storm will hit Earth today and may cause disruptions to radio communications and GPS according to @NASA. And let’s hope for a little Aurora in the Northern latitudes. May be visible in Northern US states. A solar storm is due to hit earth, with the potential to cause disruptions to radio and satellite communications.

The “major” storm will see a temporary disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere, caused by a solar wind shock wave interacting with its magnetic field. It comes ...

A major solar storm will hit Earth today and may cause disruptions to radio communications and GPS according to @NASA. And let’s hope for a little Aurora in the Northern latitudes. May be visible in Northern US states. A solar storm on a direct path to hit Earth could cause disruptions to GPS, radio and satellite communications.

With the Sun now nearing the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, solar activity is expected to increase, and so are chances of solar flares and coronal mass ...

Highly charged particles in the CMEs and solar flares can ionize the upper layers of the atmosphere that we use for GPS and radio communication. A solar prominence remains anchored to the Sun and does not result in bad solar weather. However, these methods are not 100 percent accurate and solar weather can vary from these predictions. These predictions are based on mathematical models that astronomers have created after studying decades of solar data. Last week, the dynamics on the solar surface took a new turn when sunspots that were gradually increasing in size took the shape of sun filaments. Therefore, radio blackouts are the most common effect of solar activity.

A surge of solar wind following a coronal mass ejection from the sun is due to hit the Earth's atmosphere, creating a beautiful aurora display.

As they collide, the electrons pass their energy to the atmospheric atoms, exciting them to a higher energy state. G2-level (possibly G3) conditions may occur if the magnetic field of this storm is oriented southward!" "The magnetic orientation of this Earth-directed #solarstorm is going to be tough to predict.
