They predicted a strong solar storm that will impact the Earth

This Wednesday, a strong solar storm will have an impact on the Earth, according to the Center for Spatial Weather Forecasting (SWPC, for its acronym in English). The phenomenon will last until May 16th. Experts said that this would cause more aurora borealis and could cause radio communication problems.

This institution explained that this event is due to a coronal mbad ejection, which is released by the star of our system. In the scale of measurement, it will enter the range of G1 and G2.

According to specialists, a geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere, which occurs when an exchange of energy occurs between the solar wind and the space surrounding the planet.

Researcher Sergei Bogachov, of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, pointed out that this type of phenomena was causing more aurora borealis and d & # 39; interference in radiocommunications. They also cause problems in power grids, as well as the destabilization of satellite orbits.

These types of storms also have an impact on the behavior of migratory animals, which depend on the magnetic field to mark their new trajectory.
