Curiosity rover to snooze off during a solar storm

Because of the awaiting solar storm on March 7 NASA temporarily balanced operations on the Martian surface rover Curiosity Mission Mars Science Lab (MSL). Currently, the rover mission scientists have presumed from the "sleep" mode, because the power of the solar storm was much lower than expect.

NASA has taken protection in view of the fact that a large coronal mass ejection, presumably, was to reach Mars in a few days, from March 7, the researchers say. 

Where to look for the "perfect storm"?

Many of the population of the Earth are often not even aware that beyond the Earth, on the surface of other planets - and not only, by the way, the planets - the solar system sometimes furious incredible storms.

Over the past decade, the spacecraft was a lot of pictures of the amazing extraterrestrial phenomena on the scale exceeding everything that we can watch on their home planet.

A large X-class flare on the Sun

Powerful flare blow up on the Sun on Monday, October 22, freeing up space radiation fluctuation, which have already led to short signal destruction on Earth.

Flash coming from the sunspot AR 11958 has reached its maximum brightness at 3:22 GMT yesterday, October 23, according to scientists from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), 

What is a solar storm?

The Solar storm is a temporary disruption of the Earth's magnetosphere. Associated with a coronal mass ejection (CME), a coronal hole or a solar flare is a shock wave incoming solar wind between 24 and 36 hours after the event. This only happens if the shock wave travels toward Earth. The solar wind pressure on the magnetosphere will increase or decrease depending on solar activity. The solar wind pressure changes the electrical currents in the ionosphere. Magnetic storms last 24 to 48 hours, but can last for several days.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF THE SOLAR STORM IN 2012

If by 2012 a solar storm occurs, a large one. You must get out. The radiation storm could begin in 15 minutes. The first step to take is to protect the hips, this may be key to surviving a solar storm. Other sensitive areas are the shoulders, spine, thighs, sternum and skull. 

Why a list of body parts so strange? 

The bones of these areas contain marrow, the "blood factory" of our body. The delicate cells that form the bone marrow are particularly vulnerable to solar storms; a high dose of solar protons flowing through the body may destroy them.

A solar storm can cause a disaster in 2012

"Emergency services could be disrupted and lost control of the country". A recent report (a dossier of 145 pages) prepared for the NASA and ESA through the National Academy of Sciences corroborates the apocalyptic predictions for 2012. The report says he expects for 2012 a solar storm that will destroy all living systems on Earth. 

In 2012 predicts strong solar storms

A report released by NASA anticipates strong solar storms in 2012, which may involve a cascade of all communications systems in the world. The doomsday theorists find evidence for their ideas.  A recent report (a dossier of 145 pages) prepared for the NASA and ESA through the National Academy of Sciences USA confirms some of the apocalyptic predictions for 2012. The report says he expects for 2012 a solar storm that could destroy all living systems on Earth. 

The theme of a large-scale solar storm to affect the entire planet has made some NASA scientists begin to believe the prophecies of the Maya and the Hopi Indians of the end of an era for 2012. These people predicted the end of the Fifth Age (now) with a cosmic tragedy. And NASA said as published by the National Academy of Sciences, which is a concern this news. This issue specifically addresses the potential risks of a series of catastrophic events that happen throughout 2012. These events are characterized by the bombardment of solar storms real and swarms of an asteroid.

The threat of solar storms of a thousand years

On 13 and 14 March 1989, not long ago, the Earth experienced the largest geomagnetic storm that has been beaten in decades. The ionized particles from the sun caused a blackout in Quebec (Canada), leaving 5 million people without electricity for nine hours in winter and causing damage worth millions and millions of dollars. They also destroyed a costly transformer in the U.S. repair and sent two teams similar in the UK. During the "temporary" space agency lost track of some of its 1,600 probes and satellites. 

SOLAR STORM WILL BE GLOWINGIN 2012

NASA shows us how to be the great solar storm in 2012. "This hole is spinning toward Earth, which is causing solar storms of medium intensity, as the last recorded in the months August, September and October and possibly causing large geomagnetic storm in 2012" 

A stunning new image of the sun captured by NASA spacecraft called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (S DO), by acronym in English, show a hole in the solar corona, a region where the magnetic field opens up and allows solar wind to escape. This hole is spinning toward Earth, which could produce a geomagnetic storm.

SOLAR STORM IS FORECAST IN 2012.

NASA experts have again warned of potential danger to Earth the explosion of a single large solar storm in 2012, generated more than 150 million miles away, on the surface of the Sun An extreme solar activity intense in the coming years are expected increasing levels, this would cause an unprecedented disaster.

Our energy and communications systems would be seriously damaged by application of the solar plasma and our comfortable Western life system, which relies more than ever on technology, would collapse like a house of cards. Not for the first time NASA made this warning. Two years ago, released a study that predicted even millions of deaths in 2012 if the sun discharged its "perfect storm."
