1/23/12
Tomorrow marks the peak of the most powerful solar storm since the spring of 2005. Over a three day span (1/22/12-1/24/12) our universe will be showered by high levels of radiation. This massive three punch explosion from the sun could cause disruption in satellites, some types of plane communication and even effect out cellphones and ipods! First the electro-magnetic radiation ejects itself from the sun followed by more radiation of protons; both propelling themselves into space at over 93 million miles per hour! Finally the coronal blast shoots pure solar plasma at a rate of one to two million miles per hour. Although THIS storm is much stronger than ordinary solar storms... Tomorrow's coronal explosion will travel at a rate of over four million miles per hour! No major threat has been know for humans but scientist are continually studying the effects of the sun as well as the "storms" it produces.
