Known for his research on space, Dr. Tamitha Skov announced that on July 20 and 21, many parts of the Earth will be affected by the Solar storm. Skov stated that the storm in question may cause interruptions in GPS, mobile phone, satellite and TV signals, and she emphasized that solar storm has the ability to release 100,000 times more enenergy than all power plants produce in a year
Space explorer Dr. Tamitha Skov announced that on July 20 and 21, many parts of the Earth may be affected by the solar storm.
Skov noted that we should expect signal interruptions on the night side of Earth due to the impact of a 'snake-like filament' from the Sun, which he predicts will occur on July 19.
Stating that the situation will take a direct hit, the space researcher added that the storm is likely to come within this week.
In the news in SpaceWeather, it was emphasized that the G1 class storm was small but strong enough to affect satellite operations.
It was underlined that the origin of the Solar storm, which is stated to affect the Earth on July 20 or 21, comes from a coronal mass ejection, a release of plasma and magnetic energy bouncing from the Sun on July 15 by an unstable magnetism filament.
In the news, it was noted that the explosions in question have the ability to release 100,000 times more energy than all the power plants in the world produce in a year.
WHAT DOES SOLAR STORM MEANS ?
Dr. It is stated that if the Solar Storm mentioned by Tamitha Skov occurs, the magnetic field of the earth may be affected.
While it has been reported that Solar Storms can have serious effects on human activities due to their strength, some studies have shown that satellites are out of orbit due to increased solar wind activity and smaller boats known as CubeSats have been completely destroyed.
In addition, it was emphasized that the occurrence of solar storms may heat the Earth's outer atmosphere and directly affect the satellites, while it was stated that there may be problems in GPS, mobile phone, satellite and TV signals due to the warming that may occur in the satellites due to the storm.
THE STRONGEST SOLAR STORM IN HISTORY
The Solar storm, also called the Carrington Event, which occurred in 1859, is known as a powerful geomagnetic solar storm that occurred during solar cycle 10.
In the year in question, a solar flare or coronal mass ejection affected the magnetosphere, while the event observed and recorded by Richard Christopher Carrington was recorded as the strongest solar storm.
