STORM RADIATION EARTH SHAKING

The strong solar radiation storm is already impacting the Earth and it is believed that could affect power lines, satellite navigation systems and air routes. The phenomenon originated from two large solar flares that occurred earlier this week. And the storm will impact particularly in the areas near the poles, so that many airline pilots are advised to change their routes to avoid these areas. But there is a high probability of seeing aurora Boreas and Australia in these regions, if the sky is clear.

Joseph Hunches, an expert on the U.S. government weather agency   for its acronym in English, described the storm as the solar version of Super Tuesday, referring to the Republican primary that took place in ten states.

"Space weather has become very interesting in the last 24 hours," said Hunches."We are now hitting just below the nose," he said. Until Friday it is expected that the particles hit the Earth at 6,400,000 miles per hour."Space weather has become very interesting in the last 24 hours". And experts estimate that the storm will last until Friday morning. Jonathan Blake, the BBC reports from Washington that U.S. energy companies are monitoring networks to detect irregularities.

The reporter explained that satellites could also be affected, so maybe the satellite navigation system to malfunction. Other solar magnetic storms have been observed in recent decades. A huge solar flare in 1972 disconnected the long distance telephone communications in the state of Illinois, USA.A 1989 solar storm caused power outages in Canada that affected six million people, says Blake.
