Decipher the secret behind super solar storm

Super solar storms in 2012, if heading toward the globe, could knock down the electric networks on Earth and destroy the satellites on its way.

Super solar storms in 2012, if heading toward the globe, could knock down the electric networks on Earth and destroy the satellites on its way.

Physicists in Beijing have deciphered the secret behind super solar storms two years ago.

Accordingly, super typhoons are created by three terrible bursts of charged and magnetic particles of the sun.

A Japanese coronary material eruption (CME) occurred on the farther part of the sun surface on July 19, 2012.

Next, two more cases occurred four days later, and 15 minutes apart, according to the Huffington Post.

The result of the clash with CMEs has created the largest electromagnetic storm in space.

If it lashes straight toward Earth, the world's electric networks are likely to be knocked out, while orbiting satellites are inactive.

According to Ying Liu, a physicist at the National Space Science Center in Beijing, the clashes of the CMEs then created charged particles moving at five times the normal CME, while carrying 10 times the power.

The new discovery could help improve the spatial weather forecasting method, and help parties respond better when the Earth is forced to catch super storms from the sun.
