Eruption of the Sun Spot

Ominous news yet again come from the realm of astronomy. Late last week, one of sunspots has just erupted and the eruption aka corona ejects large amounts or referred to some as a solar storm.

Is there any impact on the earth? There. However, anyone hoping that did not happen.

If you ever hear about predictions of solar storms that occur later in the year 2013 and will paralyze all activity on earth, more or less what happened last weekend, too. However, this time scale is probably not as big as previously estimated.

In pictures corona, or pseudo light around the sun, which was captured by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft and NASA's twin, STEREO, visible gas cloud erupted out of 1123 sunspots around the southern sun on Friday morning time local.

The eruption that scientists have been classified as C-4 solar spots. Unfortunately, materials that "spit" eruption was pointed straight toward earth at speeds approaching nearly 500 kilometers per hour.

NASA estimates that the gas cloud will reach the Earth's atmosphere about two or three days from Friday, or around Sunday or Monday local time (Florida, USA). "Observers should be aware of the existence of astronomical latitude auroras on these days," NASA said in his statement, quoted VIVAnews from TG Daily, Monday, November 15, 2010.

The good news, this time only a small proportion of hotspots that are strong enough to produce solar storms. However, if a large enough amount of the material, which contains mostly protons and electrons, of course able to produce magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation into space.

As a result, the radiation that emerged later destroy all electromagnetic waves in the earth and make a big disaster.

Could you imagine a world without telecommunications? Almost all mass transportation would be crippled, ranging from railway, MRT, subway, and of course aircraft.

Any form of GPS-based navigation and related satellite affected. Mobile networks and radio will disappear. And, the worst happened: the next few days we are living without electricity.
