HOUSTON - NASA says that in 2013 the sun will awaken and destroy all satellites
NASA
recently published a frightening report. According to NASA
astronomers, in 2014, after years of hibernation, the Sun will wake up
and Earth will suffer some deadly consequences, including global failure
all satellite communications.
In his
report, Defense Secretary Liam Fox noted that the perfect
electromagnetic storm will lead to a technogenic disaster on Earth. He
cited recent statistics which indicate that the surface temperature of
hot stars is rapidly increasing.
Solar
storms will generate a great level of radiation that will affect the
Earth’s magnetic field. This could prove to be a collapse for the
humanity – trains and planes will stop, GPS-navigation will be affected,
mobile and radio networks will disappear.
As
Liam Fox stressed in his address, the society is too dependent on
technology, and this makes it very vulnerable. Natural protectors of
Earth will simply not cope with the “riot” of the Sun, which will lead
to the failure of all computers. Also, due to solar activity banking
system can be affected. Astronomers fear complete chaos in world
financial markets..
Failures in electric
power around the world can stretch from hours to several months.
However, negative consequences of this outbreak can be minimized if we
prepare for the collapse in advance.
Scientists
have been investigating solar activity for 11 years. Previous years
have been rather quiet. But, according to experts, this is the calm
before this storm. Rings of fire, ready to escape from the surface of
the Sun in the near future, are equal to a hundred hydrogen bombs in
terms of power. If their destructive power reaches Earth, it will cause
great economic losses. According to preliminary estimates, they will be
20 times greater than the damage from the famous Hurricane Katrina.
For
information: solar flares are the most powerful of all manifestations
of solar activity. The energy of a large solar flare reaches 1032 erg,
which is approximately 100 times greater than the thermal energy that
could be obtained by burning all known oil and coal reserves on Earth.
Strongest
corpuscular flow perturbs the magnetic field of our planet, resulting
in very fast and strong change its characteristics. Particles moving at
speeds of 400-1000 km / s, reach earth’s atmosphere within a day or two.
This process is called magnetic storm.
It
has long been known that solar flares provoke magnetic storms on Earth.
In those days, doctors ask weather-sensitive people to be careful and
avoid stress, both physical and emotional, because such cosmic phenomena
increase the risk of cardiac diseases. It was observed that 13% of
cases of myocardial infarction occur during magnetic storms.
Typically,
these storms are accompanied by disturbances of the ionosphere, which
in particular leads to interruptions in radio communication. Solar
flares are a frequent and quite serious phenomenon. It is accompanied by
a surge of electromagnetic radiation that can cause irreparable harm to
our planet.
In 2002, NASA satellite
recorded a giant flare on the Sun. It caused the formation of prominence
whose diameter is 30 times greater than Earth’s. Scientists said that
we were lucky: there was no release of energy in the direction of our
planet. Otherwise, the emission of such a force would have lead to
significant distortions in the magnetic field.
In
November of 2003 there was another powerful flare that brought down a
Japanese communications satellite Kodama, which was first transferring
clearly wrong information, and then disconnected. This ejection of
stellar matter was the third largest on record. Let us see what 2013 has
in store for us.
