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.
