Powerful solar storm hits Earth from unknown source

And while the whole world was amused by the experimental smashing of a NASA rocket into an asteroid, another powerful solar storm hit the Earth.

News about solar storms they attract more and more attention, and many people claim that they can sense by their behavior that something has changed.

In this regard, you should know that our planet is late in the 26th century. in September, another massive solar storm hit, this time coming from an unknown source.

American NOAA (U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) informed the public that a solar storm had hit the earth around midnight our time and that the storm was 4. geomagnetic K index. Moving on to 27. in the first few hours of September, the geomagnetic storm reached K7 levels to exert a medium-sized influence on our planet's magnetic field.

During the storm, according to various U.S. media, there were occasional problems with the use of GPS technology, malfunctions of some of the satellites, as well as problems with the orientation of the compass and other equipment.



The K index represents the strength of geomagnetic storms and the higher the number of K indices, the greater the impact of solar storms on the Earth's magnetic field, causing problems with satellite communication, radio communication, disruption of various types of signals and other problems for GPS systems and positioning and orientation systems.

Usually, the severity of storms hitting our planet is around four, but they can very rarely go up to the ninth index, and the one we're talking about now has reached the seventh. According to the aforementioned American research bodies, this storm was active in our weather until 11 a.m., after which it rapidly weakened.

If by any chance you were disoriented today, some of your devices did not work properly or you just felt strange - maybe it wasn't this rain and weather change, but maybe it was a geomagnetic storm :) who knows?! …
