Impact of Solar Storms on the World: What You Need to Know

May 9, 2024 Thai Astronomical Society; This was revealed by the Thai Astronomy Academic Association through its Facebook page. Thai Astronomical Society regarding “Solar Storm” that impact the world, he said “Solar Storm” At least 3 missiles are likely to hit the world this Friday night.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts that this will result in a geomagnetic storm of intensity G3 out of 5. These solar storms have formed from the eruption of the dark spot cluster AR3664 over the past two days.

“Solar Storm” What caused it?

1. Solar wind

The solar wind is caused by the expansion of the solar corona with increased thermal energy. When it expands until the particles escape the gravitational pull of the sun, and escapes from the sun in all directions until it covers the solar system This phenomenon occurs near the north and south poles of the sun. with a large coronal cavity The coronal cavity is where the violent, high-speed solar wind blows from the sun into that area.

while the solar wind that occurs near the sun’s equator will have a low speed. The solar wind arises from the expansion of the corona along the sun’s equator. It has an average initial speed of about 450 kilometers per second. Thereafter, it will accelerate to around 800 kilometers per second.

2. Solar flares

Solar flares are caused by violent explosions that occur in the chromosphere. And they often occur above the boundary between the poles of the magnetic field, such as at the center of the double black spot. or between clusters of black spots with complex magnetic turbulences. which releases energy in the form of light and magnetic waves Various types of electricity came out violently But at the moment Astronomers still do not know exactly how solar flares are formed.

3. The release of material from the crown.

Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) Astronomers still don’t know exactly how this happens. But it has been found that it often results from other phenomena occurring at the lower level of the crown. Often seen. Occurs with solar flares and prominences. But sometimes it can happen without these two phenomena. Furthermore, the frequency of births also varies based on the solar cycle. This occurs about once a week near solar minimum. If it is near the peak of the sun It can occur even two or three times a day.

4. High energy particles from the sun

High-energy particles from the sun, or geomagnetic storms, can occur in two ways. The first type occurs together with solar flares. The other is caused by high-velocity ejections of material from the corona breaking through the solar wind. This causes shock waves to enter the Earth’s magnetic field. In this shock wave region, high-energy solar particles are generated.

“Solar Storm” How does it affect the world?

  • geomagnetic storm caused by solar wind and the release of material from the corona
  • Solar radiation storms are caused by high-energy particles coming from the sun.
  • The loss of radio signals is caused by solar flares and high-energy particles from the sun.

NASA is watching “Solar Storm” Destroy the world’s electricity system

Recently, NASA discovered this “Solar Storm” It’s getting more and more intense. And it is predicted to be stronger in 2025, and no one knows what will happen. But it is estimated that there is a greater than 10% chance that this will cause the collapse of the global Internet system. And if that actually happened, it could last months.

by scientists “Warning” technology is being developed before solar storms occur, using artificial intelligence to process images of phenomena on the sun’s surface. This system can be used to warn about 30 minutes in advance so that at least Humans will try to maintain the functioning of the infrastructure through various techniques. before becoming paralyzed Due to the strong solar storm that is about to occur

While “Ajarn Jess” Prof. Dr. Jessada Denduangboriphan Lecturer, Department of Biology Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University provides information that normally the solar wind, which is a stream of cosmic rays coming out of the sun. There is a regular cycle of violence, which increases every 11 years, and will be completed in 2025.

The point is to avoid problems that can arise from the internet system. and other electrical systems caused by the impact of strong solar winds on satellites and electrical transmission systems (Which I still don’t know how strong it will be. It could be nothing at all. Or if you think the worst it could cause the Internet to go down for months) So NASA is trying to develop new technology. To detect it early in time, different systems will be able to protect themselves in time. You shouldn’t panic.

In this regard, Acharn Jess stated that solar wind has no effect on human health. At most I saw the Northern Lights. The southern lights are more beautiful According to the area near the poles There was no impact on the earth’s surface. An earthquake occurred Volcanic eruption Or the world stops turning As also in the film.
