Secretary of the United Kingdom worried

Compared to the legendary 2012 'great year', the powerful solar storms that are expected to attack Earth in 2013 are making many governments more worried.

The British Telegraph , yesterday, December 2, reported that the country's Security Minister, Baroness Neville-Jones, warned that the solar storms in 2013 would cause catastrophic and systemic impacts. The country's electricity will be seriously damaged.


Speaking during a session in the House of Representatives, Ms Neville-Jones said that because the country is increasingly dependent on the electricity industry, when solar storms attack Earth after every 11-year cycle in the year. 2013 ' surely they will bring disaster '.

Security Minister Neville-Jones's report came after a warning by Dr. Liam Fox, Minister of Defense on the dangers to the nation's high-tech infrastructure that needs to be addressed, including Sun's activity.

Information about the extreme solar storm will attack the Earth in 2013 released by NASA scientists in June. According to calculations by experts in this agency, the destructive power of the Storm heaven 2013 will be beyond the imagination of people.

They can destroy emergency service systems, medical devices, banking systems, and unsupervised surveillance devices to household electrical appliances such as computers, iPods, etc. This can making the whole Earth enter the darkest days.

Neville-Jones told the House of Science and Technology Committee: ' We have been warned about the peak of the sunspot activity cycle. And it seems this is a very strong climax . '

' So we need to prepare everything on the ground to cope with them,' continued Neville-Jones.

Science Minister David Willetts said that private satellite operators may also be affected so they should also have plans to prepare for the event.

' What are the dangers of the storms of the sun, at the moment it is still not predictable. We can only base on the number of solar black spots that the UK Aerospace Agency predicts the active state of the solar magnetic field. At the same time, we have to protect all electrical networks and communication equipment . 'said Mrs. Neville-Jones.

Solar black spots are dark areas on the Sun's surface that appear due to very strong magnetic changes in the Sun. During the development process, the magnetic field of the black spot also gradually increases. According to calculations, the period of occurrence of black spots is approximately 11 years. Many scientists believe that the activity of solar black spots affects radio waves as well as the Earth's climate.
