Over the weekend, the upper reaches of the Earth's northern hemisphere will be hit by the strongest radiation from the Sun, according to space forecasting site Space Weather.
The researchers noticed a stream of gaseous particles ejected from the Sun, and this stream was directed directly to the Earth. Experts believe that the particle stream, which currently travels 150 million kilometers from the Sun to the Earth through space, will reach Earth on Saturday, April 4. This could trigger the Northern Lights over the Arctic Circle all weekend.
Auroras, which are divided into aurora borealis and aurora borealis, occur when solar particles enter the atmosphere. When the magnetosphere is bombarded by solar winds, stunning blue lights can appear as this layer of the atmosphere deflects particles.
However, researchers are also noticing the effects of a solar storm, and space weather could extend beyond the northern or southern lights. For the most part, Earth's magnetic field protects humans from radiation that comes from sunspots, but solar storms can affect satellite technology.
Solar winds can heat the Earth's outer atmosphere, causing it to expand. This can affect the operation of satellites in orbit, which can result in the lack of GPS navigation, mobile phone signal and satellite TV.
In addition, the emission of particles can lead to strong currents in the magnetosphere, which can lead to higher-than-normal electricity in power lines, resulting in electrical transformers and power plants failing, loss of power.
