Solar storm hits Earth, GPS disorders and radio signals expected

A solar storm has begun to hit Earth this Tuesday and is forecast to cause problems in the operation of GPS locator systems and radio signals.

Researchers warn that the impact will be a "direct hit" that could disrupt signals and be visible in some regions of the planet.

SpaceWeather physicist Dr Tamitha Skov says we should "expect overnight signal disruptions.

These explosions are capable of releasing 100,000 times more energy than all thermal power plants on Earth generate over the past year, Wales Online writes.

The sun is in the active phase of its 11-year solar cycle, with incidents like these expected to increase in frequency. Over the weekend, a large plasma and magnetic field structure broke away from the Sun.

Dr Sebastian Voltmer, who captured an image of him, told SpaceWeather: "The size of the spot is impressive. It was spectacular to see part of it moving very quickly getting out and breaking off on the side."

Powerful solar storms can have serious effects on human activities.

Some research suggests that satellites have fallen from their orbits due to increased solar wind activity, and smaller ships, known as CubeSats, have been completely destroyed. The altitude reduction for these satellites is 10 times faster than it has been in the past, at a cost of tens of millions of dollars.

Scientists may have a way of predicting these storms, using the maximum rate of increased solar spot activity as a precursor to how powerful the cycle can be, and this can help protect critical infrastructure such as power grids, communication equipment and the internet.
