Solar storms (BBC)
VIVAnews - solar activity would become more active and will result in negative effects for the Earth.
To prepare for the worst, a leading solar scientists gathered in Washington DC, USA Tuesday, June 8, 2010, to discuss the best ways to protect satellites and Earth's vital systems of the solar storm.
Solar storm occurs when some point the sun burst and spew splattered particles that can be damaging. This activity takes place in cycles of 11 years.
"The sun has got up from bed length. And in the next few years we will see solar activity in the higher level," said the head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, Richard Fisher, like the Christian Science Monitor published pages.
"At the same time, technological society is developing a new sensitivity to face the storm the sun."
Society in the 21st century rely heavily on high-tech systems in everyday life are susceptible to storm the sun.
GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications could all die suddenly by solar activity.
Economic damage caused by solar storms are expected twenty times larger than Hurricane Katrina - as a warning, issued the National Academy of Sciences in a report in 2008.
Fortunately, a lot of damage can be overcome if it knows when a storm is coming. That is why understanding of solar weather and a better ability to provide early warning, it is very important.
Placing the satellite in 'safe mode' and release the transformer in order to protect the electronics from damaging power surge.
"Space weather forecast is still under development, but we're making rapid progress," said Thomas Bogdan, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
NASA and NOAA are working together to manage the fleet of satellites that monitor the sun and help to predict changes in solar.
A pair of spacecraft called Stereo (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) is located on the opposite side of the sun, which can display a mix of 90 percent of the solar surface.
In addition, the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory which), which has just launched in February 2010, can produce new photo active part in the solar surface.
Also, an old satellite called the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), which was launched in 1997, still monitoring the sun.
"I believe we are on the verge of new era where space weather can affect our lives everyday like usual weather of the earth." Fisher said. "For us, this is very serious." (Hs)
