Mega solar storm crashes to earth expected this weekend! Will the Internet fail?
Recently, an explosion occurred on the sun at sunspot AR2887, which then resulted in a coronal mass ejection. Because of this, a new solar storm is now racing towards Earth. This one is likely to hit Earth this weekend and could have noticeable effects, according to experts.
Solar storm will hit Earth this weekend
A massive solar flare is likely to have an impact on Earth this weekend. The US weather agency NOAA is now warning of this. While the solar storm in Germany could possibly conjure up auroras in the sky, in the worst case, there may be disruptions in the power grid. The impact of the radiation produced by the eruption is expected on 30.10.2021. The solar flare in question had occurred on
October 28, 2021, at about 5:35 p.m., when a coronal plasma ejection had occurred in an X1-class solar flare. This radiation is now hurtling toward Earth, where it could trigger a category G3 geomagnetic storm. This is expected to continue on October 31, 2021, but will then weaken to the strength of category G2. Let’s hope that the solar storm will not have a major impact. Thus, worse disturbances of electrical devices are also possible. In addition, the solar storm could even completely paralyze power grids. Damage to mobile networks and satellites are also possible.
Will the solar storm conjure auroras in Germany in the sky?
But a solar storm does not have to have only negative effects. This time, Germany may even see a rare weather phenomenon. This time, experts say there could even be a chance of auroras showing up in the skies in Germany. The website “spaceweather.com” believes that especially in the North American states of Illinois and Oregon auroras are possible. The chances are also good in Germany on 30.10.2021. But unfortunately, the highest probability of the phenomenon is said to be in broad daylight. Therefore, the chances of seeing the auroras in Germany should be very low.
