A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring




Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring.

Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths.

The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere."



The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with different degrees of altitude.

However, scientists also noted that the consequences of the solar storm and space weather could extend beyond the northern or southern lights, where the solar wind could heat the Earth's outer atmosphere, causing it to expand.

This could affect satellites in orbit, which could lead to a lack of GPS navigation and a mobile phone signal.

Earth's magnetic field protects humans from the hail of radiation that comes from sunspots, but solar storms can affect satellite-based technology.



In addition, the increase of particles can lead to high currents in the magnetosphere, which can lead to higher electricity than normal in power lines, which leads to the separation of electrical transformers and power stations and power loss.

This rarely happens, most recently, when the largest solar storm crippled technology in 1859, and a very strong rise in electricity occurred during what is now known as the "Carrington event", to the point that telegraph systems collapsed throughout Europe.


There were also reports of a fire in some buildings as a result of the increased electricity.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside. This is the state's strongest earthquake since 1992, when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the St. George region, Utah's emergency management department said. The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

Panic in stores and markets on toilet paper and canned food

With the spread of the Corona virus around the world, shoppers are running around the markets, supermarkets and pharmacies either to fight the Corona virus or to prepare for possible quarantine. Early popular products were Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. As with the spread of the virus in a large way, the demand has become steadily on toilet paper. Because of the panic, fear of the people, and the high turnout in stores, most stores have restricted what people can buy, as shoppers cannot purchase more than six antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizers, and hard wipes. But why is the toilet paper the last purchase without others? The behavior of people and their high demand for toilet paper has been explained by the fact that since people do not know how to interpret the virus, it raises the need to prepare in any way possible. Something they can buy they know they might need ... is toilet paper. With the spread of the epidemic around the world, people were seen rushing t...

The virus (Corona) will remain and will end in early April

It is not a corona virus, but an illusion of corona . It is an experiment with gas in an American biological laboratory, which was not controlled on 4/1/2020 in Afghanistan (the reason for signing the US cooperation agreement with the Taliban, after 40 years of conflicts, and Trump's fear that the truth will be revealed for personal purposes), (Italy's agreement with The United States), (Trump's request for the German doctor, and an agreement and temptation for money with the refusal of the German authorities because of the pressure, and the blackmail of the United States), (the fear of European countries due to the high rate of aging in them). It means that the countries in which the gas spread took place a while ago without anyone's knowledge, and the secrecy of the American authorities. Modern sarin gas used experiment in Syria, killing 1345 in two days. One of the most dangerous gases, it has no smell, taste or color. It converts from gas to liquid, a...
