Geomagnetic storm began on the Earth
Sunday, 05 June 2011 12:31
Representatives of NOAA reported, that on the Earth today began a Geomagnetic storm of G2 class, and Kp index of geomagnetic disturbances has reached 6.

Scientists predict, that the Geomagnetic storm will be several days as the Sun continues to move to a new high activity, now on the Sun observed from 5 to 10 active regions. Reportedly, when the magnetic storm of class G2 can lead to failures in communication, navigation, and also affect human well-being, causing headaches and insomnia, caution should be exercised to people who suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Established, that during solar flares are explosive conversion of magnetic energy in the spot energy gamma rays, X-rays and radiation in the ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges. X-ray radiation from flares pose a real threat to the astronauts who are at this time aboard the International Space Station (ISS). To reduce the radiation dose to astronauts have already been recommended to transfer to the lander, which is covering more reliably protects against all harmful radiation.

Today is likely to cause auroras in the polar regions. If the Geomagnetic storm was now a class above, for example G3 instead of G2, then in the Moscow City would be able to see the auroras. And it's not just a guess - in 2003 and 2005, when the solar activity cycle passed its peak, and the aurora seen over Moscow, but even under a clear sky auroras is very difficult to observe in Moscow, because of the illumination from street lamps.

A magnetic storm is a disturbance of the magnetic field of the Earth lasting from several hours to several days and caused the receipt in the vicinity of the Earth perturbed streams of solar wind and their interaction with Earth's magnetosphere. This phenomenon is one of the most important elements of the solar-terrestrial physics and its practical side, usually termed "space weather".

Most often flares occur near the maximum 11-year cycle of solar activity, that we observe in June 2011. Until recently the most powerful in 25 years of observations have been Solar flare of August 16, 1989 and April 2, 2001 with the X-ray score of X20. However, on November 4, 2003 there was the most powerful ever recorded Solar flare in H28 points, the energy which, as calculations show, could be enough to supply electricity to Moscow within a few tens of millions of years.

During solar flares emit high-speed streams of charged particles, which are often called "solar wind", and when the perturbed solar wind meets on the way the Earth's magnetosphere, the site of contact start getting messy and sometimes very strong changes in the magnetic field of the Earth, which is the essence of a magnetic storm. Since the solar wind speed ranges from 500 to 1000 km / s, magnetic storm typically begins a day later - after the two flares on the Sun. That's how much time it takes the flow of charged particles to pass 150 million kilometers from the Sun to the Earth.

In 20 century in Nice (France) accidentally, it was observed that the frequency of myocardial infarction and stroke in the elderly rose sharply in the days when in the local telephone exchange in a severe violation, pending complete termination of communication. The scientists found, that disorders telephone occur during magnetic storms. On this basis, and was first concluded that heart attacks and strokes are associated with magnetic storms. Later, German scientists R. Reuter and K. Werner, an analysis of about 100 thousand traffic accidents, have established their sharp increase on the second day after a solar flare.

Found numerous cases of interaction of magnetic storms and technical systems, especially known for magnetic storm of March 13, 1989, which led to a short circuit in the main transformer, the Quebec hydropower. As a result, more than 6 million Canadians and Americans for 9 hours were without electricity. Also observed loss of satellites during strong magnetic storms, due to malfunction of the electronic control and communication systems.

After some strong flares occurred windstorms and typhoons, earthquakes and volcanoes, and today there was a volcanic eruption in southern Chile, as we have previously published an article on our website.

The USA and Britain do not preclude the possibility of mass-controlled shutdown of power supply in case of large solar flares
Tuesday, 14 June 2011 07:32
“The Independent” reported yesterday, that representatives of Great Britain and the USA discussed the possibility of mass-controlled power outages in their own countries, in response to a warning about a possible powerful solar flare.

In an interview with “The Independent”, Thomas Bogdan, director of the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center, said that the massive government-controlled power outages will defend the national power grid from damage, that can cause a powerful solar flare. According to Thomas Bogdan, a powerful solar flare and caused by solar flare a powerful geomagnetic storm, can cause damage to power grids, to eliminate all the consequences of which would be required months or years, if not taken any precautions.

Director U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center proposed the creation of the International Centre for space weather forecasting, to coordinate the global response to the threat of consequences from solar flares. As a result of recent calculations, taking into account the factors of the last major outbreak in the Sun, one of the largest on record, it was found, that a major geomagnetic storm can cause significant surges in the national electricity networks, which could cause a failure of electricity supply in the entire areas of America and Europe, because of what the power supply in these areas may stop for days, weeks, and in some cases for months.

And such concerns of scientists is due not only to theoretical calculations, before, during large magnetic storms, there were cases of massive and uncontrolled shutdown of power supply of entire regions of individual countries. The most famous case occurred 22 years ago, in March 1989,in the Canadian province of Quebec, where a strong magnetic storm caused the overload of the entire energy system of Quebec, as a result, millions of people were left without electricity. Magnetic storm began emitting large quantities of plasma from the Sun, when the plasma has reached the Earth- changes started in the Earth's magnetic field. There have been fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field, leading to the formation of powerful electromagnetic fields over the territory of the northern U.S. and Canada, it affected the work of high-voltage power lines, and the result was disastrous overload, which resulted in the disconnection of power supply.

Technically, geomagnetic storms caused by solar flares, are problems throughout the electrical network of the country. Tension in the high-voltage wires, resulting in the effect of electromagnetic fields caused by magnetic storms, greatly exceeds the prescribed rate, and power transformers of the country overheat and fail, that makes it possible for large problems - until the crash the entire grid of the country. The vulnerability of electricity caused by the fact, that the more developed the country's electricity, the better they perform the role of an antenna, attracting vibrations of Earth's electromagnetic field. High-voltage power lines, which are preferred when designing the country's grid, in connection with the possibility of minimal energy losses during transmission over a distance, did supply more vulnerable to magnetic storms, as companies thinking first and foremost about profit, but by creating more energy-efficient grid they thereby greatly weakening its on solar activity.

UK government and the U.S. are concerned about possible chaos and riots, which may arise in the case of mass shutdown of power supply, as in the United States has been the sad experience of a sudden power outage in New York on the night from 13 to 14 July 1977. As a result, almost all of New Yor plunged into darkness, the city began rioting: the gang of robbers attacked and set fire to shops in town were more than a thousand fires. Was robbed of more than 1 500 stores, barred windows just pull the trucks, the overall damage from the disorder is estimated, according to various sources, from 300 million to 1 billion dollars .Was found, were engaged in looting more than 100 thousand people, as a result - in prisons had no place. And it's all the result of one night without electricity, and now Director U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center warns, that the grids of the U.S. and other countries has become much more complicated then grids in 1977, making it more susceptible to the effects of geomagnetic storms and geomagnetic storms can now de-energize the country's power grid will not for one day, but for weeks or even months.

Therefore, controlled shutdown of power supply is preferable, better to get people to wait without electricity one day, than deal with the consequences of riots, that may arise from uncontrolled power outage for a longer time.

According to the most pessimistic scenario, a powerful geomagnetic storm could be one of the most devastating natural disasters in the world, since such a storm can deprive entire regions of the world's electricity for months, affecting the operation of power systems on several continents simultaneously.

That actually the scientists say about solar flares
Tuesday, 21 June 2011 19:10
Today in the media were numerous reports, referring to British newspaper The Sunday Times, that the UK government is planning massive power outage, if will be reports about large solar flares.

We consider it necessary to notice, that the newspaper The Sunday Times was not the first newspaper of Great Britain, who reported similar news. One of the first newspaper, which reported similar intentions of the UK Government over a week ago, was the newspaper The Independent, which reported, that the representatives of Great Britain and the U.S. discussed the possibility of mass and the controlled power outages in their own countries, if will be reports about large solar flares.

Recall, that in an interview with The Independent, Thomas Bogdan, who is director of the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center, said that the massive and controlled by the authorities a power outage to protect the national electrical network from harm, which can cause powerful flash in the sun.

Such concerns caused not only by theoretical calculations - during major geomagnetic storms occurred cases of mass disconnection of power supply of entire regions. Recall the case in March 1989, in Quebec, Canada when a powerful magnetic storm caused major power outages and millions of people in Quebec were without electricity.

There is also information, that the U.S. President and British Prime Minister discussed about mass power outages in their countries. The fact, that governments are concerned about possible riots, that can arise in the case of massive power outages. One example -is the case of a power outage in New York from 13 to 14 July 1977, when most of New York City plunged into darkness and began rioting. Robbers had looted more than a thousand stores. Total loot in this July night involved more than 100 thousand people. Therefore, governments are seeking to advance to reduce the possible negative effects from the effects of magnetic storms on power grids (for details see our article published on our website a week ago.)

Recall, that solar flares - these are processes of energy generation in light, heat and kinetic form in the solar atmosphere. Solar flares cover all layers of the solar atmosphere: the photosphere, chromosphere and solar corona. Duration flares are usually no more than several minutes, but the amount of energy that accompanies the solar flare reaches of billion megatons of TNT.

The energy of a solar flare is released as radiation in different bands and as streams of charged particles (protons and electrons). Power from solar flares is determined by the magnitude of these outbreaks produced by X-rays. The most powerful solar flares are the flashes of class X. Next come the flashes of class M is the flash output power is 10 times smaller than that of flares of class X, class C to include the flash capacity is 10 times smaller than that of flares of class M. The latter, the power of radiation, solar flares are class B- are the weakest solar flares.

Although some media announced, that the next few days will be the geomagnetic storm, which will be most powerful in 150 years, but the NASA does not think so, because today on June 21, 2011 at 4:12 UT on the Sun, was an outbreak of a very middle-class C, which will not cause a powerful geomagnetic storm on Earth in the coming days.

Solar flare will cause a magnetic storm on Earth at the end of the week
Wednesday, 03 August 2011 12:08
http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/7 ... -2011.html

Sergey Gaydash, the head of the Center for Space Weather forecasting of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation of Russian Academy of Sciences, reported about solar flare, that occurred in the Sun on Tuesday, and will cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth on August 5, 2011. Solar wind is now moving toward Earth and a magnetic storm is expected on Earth on August 5 2011 at 0300 UT.

Since the solar flare was a M1-class, the expected average intensity of the geomagnetic storm, because, as we know, solar flares, depending on the thickness of their X-ray radiation is divided into five major classes: A, B, C, M and X. Minimum class A0 corresponds to the lowest output power, the most power are solar flares of class X, a flare of class C and M correspond to the average output power.

Geomagnetic storms arise from the fact, that the Earth's magnetic field captures the charged solar wind particles (protons and electrons), that are closer to the Earth, moving along the lines of the magnetic field of the earth and form the so-called radiation belt. The flow of charged particles from the Sun is moving constantly, but especially the increase in solar flares. In periods of so-called solar maximum, the sun flares occur, which have resulted in the surrounding space is thrown a huge amount of charged particles, some of which moves at a speed of 400-1000 km / sec. Such a strong flow of charged particles perturbs the Earth's magnetic field, because of this rapidly changing characteristics of the Earth's magnetic field, which leads to a magnetic storm.

Geomagnetic storms in Earth's magnetosphere have different effects on living organisms, as well as on production infrastructure. Even with the research of Richard Carrington in 1859, it was observed, that the sources of geomagnetic storms on Earth are solar flares, and 30 years ago, after the discovery of a strong solar disturbances, called coronal mass ejections, it was found that the immediate cause of geomagnetic storms on Earth are disturbed solar wind streams in the Earth's magnetosphere, which lead to the need to generate the geomagnetic storm orientation of the magnetic field of the Earth. The sources of these streams of charged particles, in turn, are emissions from coronal mass solar and coronal holes on the Sun. Also, besides the magnetic storms on Earth, associated with high solar activity, leading to coronal mass ejections, are often observed moderate magnetic storms on Earth, which also occur during periods when the sun is in a recession of its activity. Such magnetic storms were mainly recorded in the periods of minimum solar activity cycle and found their periodic repetition every 27 days, a period associated with the solar rotation period of 27 days.

Geomagnetic storms can affect many areas of human activity, is particularly affected radio, navigation of spacecraft, therefore, monitoring of magnetic storms and forecast their occurrence is of great importance at the present time. Since the solar wind is the motion of charged particles, the interaction of the flow of charged particles from Earth's magnetosphere cause major disturbances of the geomagnetic field, which in turn affects the technological infrastructure on Earth. On our website we have previously reported, that large solar flares have previously led to problems with power supply of individual cities and entire regions and describe individual instances of such negative effects of magnetic storms on the Earth's technology infrastructure. Also, we have already described the fact of negotiations U.S. President with the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and the parties agreed on a joint controlled shutdown of entire cities and even entire regions of their countries, in the event of a major magnetic storms, caused by solar flares of unusual intensity.

It was observed, that magnetic storms are often accompanied by headaches, palpitations, malaise, insomnia, pressure drops. It is assumed that such a negative effect of magnetic storms caused by the fact that during the magnetic storm of the small blood clots oxygen exchange deteriorates as a result of the human nervous system reacts to this first lack of oxygen. In this young and healthy human body more easily adaptable and more easily tolerate the magnetic storms, but for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases and the elderly, it is desirable during magnetic storms to reduce alcohol consumption, reduced physical activity, eat less fatty and sugary foods and keep at hand the necessary medicines.

Signs of ancient intense radiation detected on the Earth
Monday, 11 June 2012 12:28
http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... dment.html

Scientists in Japan have discovered traces of a powerful cosmic radiation, which reached Earth almost 1,250 years ago. As reported, the data on the cosmic bombardment of the Earth have been derived from a study of annual rings of ancient Japanese Cedars- were established that 1,250 years ago concentration of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 in the atmosphere has increased dramatically by 1.2%. The reason for this sharp increase in the amount of a radioactive isotope of carbon was a powerful space radiation from a large solar flare. This discovery by Japanese scientists again made urgent debate on the possibility of super solar flares.

Earth moving away from the Sun at 15 centimeters per year
Thursday, 13 September 2012 09:47

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... m-sun.html

Japanese astronomers reported, that the main reason that the Earth is gradually moving away from the Sun- the tidal between the Earth and the Sun gradually moving away our planet from the Sun. As is known, the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is a major astronomical parameters, which called astronomical unit, equal to 149597870.696 kilometers. Back in 2004 Gregory, Russian astronomers Krasinski and Victor Brumberg found, that the distance from the Earth to the Sun varies with time and annual Earth moving away from the Sun by 15 centimeters, but the reason for this has not yet been accurately installed. The Japanese astronomers claim, that the Earth and the Sun have a mutual attraction, forming tidal interaction, which distorts them, which causes the same ebb and flow to the gravitational effects of the Sun and Earth, as, for example, the Moon and Earth. Therefore, according to the calculations of Japanese astronomers, from the period of revolution of the Sun around its own axis is gradually reduced to three milliseconds for 100 years, and the Earth is gradually removed by 15 centimeters per year.

Russian scientists proved, that the solar wind is similar to the flow of multiple fluid jets and is not similar to a stream of charged particles from the Sun
Thursday, 04 October 2012 16:30


George Zastenker from Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences today at a conference at the Institute for Space Studies reported, that Russian scientists with the aid of "Plasma-F", which is located on board of the Russian space observatory "Spektr-R" managed to solve the mystery of solar wind. According to George Zastenker, the solar wind is similar to the flow of multiple fluid jets and is not similar to a stream of charged particles from the Sun. Multiple fluid jets of solar wind move with different, constantly changing angles, constantly interweave. device set "Plasma-F" has a sensitivity up to 100 times greater, than any other instruments besides space observatory "Spektr-R", on board which it is installed. Set of instruments "Plasma-F" has an unusual orbit, that allows measurements inside and outside the Earth's magnetosphere. device set "Plasma-F" is designed for precise measurements of the plasma parameters, magnetic field, charged particles in space.

Solar system and huge space bubble- VIDEO

Sunday, 28 October 2012 19:47


Russian website infuture.ru reported, that NASA scientists said, that our solar system is located inside a huge bubble in the interstellar space. As reported, this huge bubble is composed of particles of interstellar dust particles and galactic cosmic rays, and it was produced by a powerful explosion by huge star of millions of years ago. At present, according to infuture.ru, the Sun passes through the Local Interstellar Cloud, the cloud is a low-density hole in the "Local Bubble". However, on the official NASA website are not located any information about this cosmic bubble, but we found a video, which was created almost two years ago, with similar illustrations, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... ubble.html
