Today March 14, the Sun storm will reach Earth and this is NOAA's warning

An electromagnetic storm will reach Earth on March 14-15, 2018, as predicted by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The storm will reach Earth today March 14

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said: "A small local storm will affect us between March 14-15. The aurora will probably be visible in high latitudes ".

NOAA also said that the storm would be G - 1 (Small Storm) and could be G - 2 (medium storm) depending on how the molecules carry charge from the storm hit the Earth.

Last weekend, a big explosion occurred on the surface of the Sun on March 6 to 7, or "Sunlight", which caused scientists to worry that, on the 14th and 15th / 3/2018 charge molecules (Sun storm) will move to Earth.

Worse, this storm came true again when the " equinox crack" of the Earth magnetic field usually took place on March 20 and September 23 each year. This "crack" causes weakening of the magnetic field to protect the Earth so that charge molecules can penetrate deep into the surface.

In particular, aurora phenomena may be observed and many times in the near future, the locations of aurora will include: part Scotland, northern England, North America (Michigan, Maine) .

How dangerous is the solar storm?

According to NOAA, the storm will disrupt radio communications, GPS navigation systems, so that flights are delayed, even the Navy communications system or NASA satellites and sensors are also affected. heavy, dangerous to astronauts.

In addition, the electromagnetic storm will affect the electric field from Earth causing wide-area power outages. NASA and NOAA continue to monitor this event based on telescopes and detectors to provide the most timely accurate space weather forecast.

This summer, NASA will also take up space and will be the closest ship to the Sun to study the structure and operation of the most important star near us.
