(ORDO NEWS) — It is known that on March 11, a coronal emission occurred on the far side of the Sun.
It caused a strong magnetic storm that covered the Earth 4 days later. A flare on the Sun left part of the planet without communication.
Eruptions of coronal (dark) plasma on the Sun were recorded thanks to NASA‘s Solar Dynamics Observatory, as well as another observatory (SOHO).
By the way, the flash occurred in the southeastern part of the Sun. The emission of dark plasma has its own characteristics.
First of all, “dark” is not called black matter, but less bright and colder plasma. Second, this matter is denser than the gas that surrounds the Sun’s atmosphere.
And so, the emission of this plasma covered the distance from the Sun to the Earth in 4 days.
He flew as close as possible to the planet, the protective magnetic field automatically activated and displayed the danger. This phenomenon is called a magnetic storm or a storm.
When this happens, people who are sensitive to changes in the weather may feel unwell, suffer from sleep problems, and be irritable.
By the way, this magnetic storm was also unusual because it was accompanied by strong auroras. They were recorded at the Earth’s poles in huge numbers.
The phenomenon is really magical and incredibly beautiful. Physicist Cat Strong told about it.
Fortunately, strong storms almost never happen. Earthlings feel the negative impact of weak and medium storms. Otherwise, our planet could have died a long time ago.
Unfortunately, there is no way to protect yourself from space weather. People are dependent on the phases of the moon, solar storms and other cosmic phenomena, unfortunately.
So, for example, one of the most powerful storms was in 1859. Then it led to mass failures of telegraphs. This phenomenon was later called the Carrington event.
