Doomsday? Solar Storm Speeding At 2.2 Million Miles Per Hour Set To Hit Earth; Check Details

NASA and global space agencies have issued a severe warning about an imminent solar storm, expected to impact Earth in the next 3 to 4 days. The storm is caused by three Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from the Sun, with the third CME traveling at 2.2 million miles per hour.

1/7

NASA and other global space agencies have issued a critical warning about a massive solar storm that is headed toward Earth, potentially endangering satellites, power grids, space stations, and communication systems. 

2/7

The plasma and magnetic waves from the Sun are expected to hit Earth within the next 3 to 4 days, as the Sun reaches the peak of its activity, increasing the likelihood of radio blackouts and satellite disruptions. 

3/7

The third and final CME, which erupted from the Sun on August 8th, is traveling at a staggering speed of over 1,000 km/second (2.2 million miles per hour).

4/7

Past solar storms, such as the one in Quebec City, Canada, in 1989, which caused a complete blackout, and the significant storm in the U.S. in 1859, underscore the potential severity of such events. 

5/7

According to a report, three separate Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are currently heading toward Earth, with the potential to cause widespread damage, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. 

6/7

Scientists warn that the radiation from the solar storm could have a global impact, affecting not just the Earth's environment but also disrupting key systems. 

7/7

The solar storm is expected to mainly affect radio signals, power grids, and communication satellites, leading to disruptions in weather forecasting and other critical data collection.
