Intense solar storms on Earth powerful

A large solar storm in 2005 is the most severe since the Earth with increasing dose of radiation.

This solar storm began at 11 pm Monday 22 / 1 and will reach the Earth with three impacts on three different times. The biggest impact of radiation, Atmospheric Agency and the National Oceanic Administration (NOAA) of the climate prediction center of the universe (U.S.), said.

Radiation greatest impact to the satellite and astronauts in space. It can cause communication problems for the airline, Doug Biesecker, a physicist at the Centre said.

Radiation reaching the earth is only an hour after the solar storm broke out and continued to day 24 / 1. The amount of radiation is said to be very strong but the other solar storms are more intense. NOAA hurricane scale two-level radioactive and extremely intense. The storm, this time giving off powerful radiation from the month 5 / 2005.

Radiation from the sun radiating at a rate of 93 million miles per hour.

Experts Agency U.S. aerospace (NASA) have examined the effects of solar storms and that this investigation six astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) but not affected, but also need do to protect themselves from radiation.

A solar storms are often accompanied by a wave of radiation include three types: the first is electronic radiation, then the radioactive particles as protons, and finally the plasma flow. Usually these waves move with speeds from 1 to 2 million miles per hour, but this storm was moving extremely fast and can reach a speed of 4 million miles / hour.

The plasma flow caused many problems for the earth, but stopped working grid. In 1989, a solar storm caused widespread blackouts in Quebec. It also pushes the light rays near the north than down south. 

In the past few years, quite quiet Sun, in part because the stage is in the silence of the 11-year cycle of activity. Last year, scientists predicted that the Sun is about to enter the cycle still not normal - a phenomenon usually only once a century. But this time the storm cycle is hardly a super-quiet period.
