Solar Storm In Space Reasons Measurement Effects And The Last Solar Solar storms and northern lights are in the offing as the sun approaches solar max, expected in mid to late 2013. recently, earth's defenses were tested by a.

The storm—triggered when the magnetic fields in blobs of plasma from the sun collided with earth’s magnetic field—not only yielded once in a generation aurorae at latitudes as low as the florida keys, but also took scientists’ breath away with its power. “what took us by surprise was the intensity of the storms,” says mathew owens. That lead time is thanks to the fact that light (i.e., what radio signals are made out of) can travel faster than the solar material ejected out of the sun in the event of these solar storms. in some events, such as one that impacted quebec around 35 years ago, they can shut off power for hours.

The first solar storm ever detected, called the carrington event, occurred in 1859 and was incredibly powerful; if something that big were to hit our much more wired up earth today, it would cause.
