The Solar Wind, which had an average speed of 500 km
/ sec, reached in the three days following a speed of more than 50,000 km /
sec. From there began to descend to 33,000 km / sec, speed was maintained
for 30 days. Although this seemed impossible, what happened?
The event was mentioned in all the magazines in the
world, and in major newspapers, but scientists did not know what it was. All
they did was to publish the data at their disposal. In 1989, a class X19 solar
flare, issued a radioactive storm hit Earth and knocked out the Hydro-Quebec
power grid for several hours, to merge several generators.
