Powerful explosions from solar storm radiation release at levels not seen since 2006.According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the explosion is likely to cause a moderate geomagnetic storm activity.
"Tongues of fire this time somewhat dramatic," says program coordinator for the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) NWS Bill Murtagh. Murtagh described the tongue of fire M-2 (middle) will peak at 1:41 AM local time (12:41 GMT), Thursday (8 / 6).
"The flames are not so great beginning but the energy of radiation particles that flow in it will inject a large coronal mass," he said. All material will explode from the sun and this event will look pretty fantastic to watch, he added.
NASA solar observatory dynamics describe this flame as a 'visual spectacular'. NASA also said the eruption was not pointing directly at the Earth but its effects will still be felt, although 'small enough'.
"Clouds large particles would be flourishing and fall back down as if covering an area almost half the surface of the sun," NASA said. Murtagh said, space weather analysts continue to monitor whether this incident will cause a collision between the Sun's magnetic field and the Earth as far as 150 million kilometers.
"Part of our job is to monitor and determine the flame that leads to Earth. Because the material from the explosion that is a mix of gas and magnetic fields, "he said. Within a day, some material will fall to Earth and created a geomagnetic storm, he added.
"We do not expect this will impact badly. However, this could create a storm with a moderate level. " SWPC say, this event is expected to cause the level of geomagnetic storm activity increased from G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) starts 1800 GMT (24.00 pm). "
Every possible geomagnetic storm lasted for 12-24 hours. "Radiation solar storms contribute significantly to the high energy protons, as similar events in December 2006," said NWS.
A total of 12 satellites and spacecraft continues to monitor heliosfer, and one month of NASA's orbiter instrument continues to measure radiation and its effects. "Obviously, during the period (two years) mission, this event became the most significant event," said principal investigator Harlan Spence Crater.
This is really interesting, because ironically, while doing this mission, initially we will slide closer to the maximum of the sun during solar particle is common, said Spence.
"This is very interesting and significant because it shows, the sun returns to the active," he continued. These geomagnetic storms can cause power grid disturbances, satellites for GPS and other devices.
"In fact, this storm could result in the transfer of flights in the polar regions," said Murtagh. Generally, this will not cause major problems and still can be overcome, he added.
"During this large radiation storms, some airlines will divert the flight path away from the poles to secure and ensure that communications can continue to operate".
Those who operate the satellite also will oversee this. The reason these geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellite itself or reduce the quality of an acceptable signal receiver.
During a storm, aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) is likely to appear in the final hours of 8 or 9 June, NASA cap. [MDR]
