Since September 4, a series of outbreaks occurred on the Sun. And after a few small ones that practically do not affect the health of people and the work of high-precision equipment, the most powerful for the last 12 years. In and of itself, the outbreaks could also not be considered something surprising, if the luminary were not in a calm state.
The outbreak on the sun occurs when the dark spots merge. There is an ejection of the mass of the solar substance. This time, the plasma cloud from the September 8 outbreak came to Earth 12 hours before the estimated time, that is, its speed was 1.5 times higher than expected, and the blow turned out to be more powerful than expected. In response to the outbreak, a field is formed, which is directed opposite to the earthly one, it "burns" the field of our planet. The result is an increase in the number of accidents, accidents, worsening communication, deteriorating health of meteodependent people. Communications failures have been observed in the US and Europe. There was a failure of satellite communication systems. The magnetic storm affected the work of a computer network around the world.
The northern lights were observed not only in the Perm region, but also in Omsk. Three super-powerful flares on the Sun in a week caused a magnetic storm in the atmosphere of the planet, whose power reached 4-5 levels on a five-point scale. The September 10 outbreak was even more powerful, 9.8 points out of 10 possible.
Scientists believe that the increased activity of the Sun can contribute to the growth of the number of oncological diseases in humans.
Outbreaks in the sun are not unusual. Although their power exceeds the power of explosions of any hydrogen bombs. Earthlings just can not imagine such explosions. We are saved only a considerable distance to the sun and the atmosphere. The most powerful was the release of energy on October 28, 2003.
After a series of outbreaks, there usually follows a lull, which was predicted by scientists after the first autumn week. The sun calms down. But the outbreak of September 10 became the most powerful for the whole time of observations, it is slightly inferior only to the strength of the September 6 outbreak. Earthlings almost lost equipment satellites in orbit.
And if the population of the planet from the increased radiation reliably protects the atmosphere, then the inhabitants of the ISS on September 10 were given the command "Alert" - go to a special shelter. On the night of September 13, the earth began the most powerful magnetic storm in the last 20 years - the response to the September 10 outbreak. And this is not the worst thing. Scientists believe that the main activity from the outbreaks, on the Sun, occurred last week, went to the opposite side of the star. In the next two weeks, the sun-free side of the sun will be turned to us.
