The sun released two powerful streams of energetic particles this week that have a 75 percent chance of causing radio interference if they hit Earth.
A physicist told DailyMail.com that the solar storm was expected to occur on Tuesday and Wednesday, with some effects felt on Thursday, but both men said the solar storm was expected to occur on Tuesday and Wednesday, following a solar storm that disrupted communications over the Pacific Ocean on Monday. said.
Dr Tamisa Sukov said the flare released on Sunday was “the largest we’ve seen in recent weeks” and had already caused short-term radio interference across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.
“NOAA says there is a 75 percent chance of an M-class flare.” [radio black out causing flares] over the next three days [two sunspots] is still in Earth view,” Skov said.
With a warning against HF [high frequency] Radio and GPS users are advised to remain alert due to GPS/GNSS, especially near dawn and dusk. [Other Global Navigation Satellite Systems] Signal reception can easily be degraded when flares are active. ”

Two active sunspots, 3559 and 3561, emitted coronal mass ejections (CMEs) just one day apart (the first sunspot was on Sunday).
CMEs can eject billions of tons of coronal material from the Sun’s surface. This material consists of plasma and magnetic fields.
NOAA uses a five-tier system called the S scale to indicate the severity of solar radiation storms.
And officials indicate there is a 15 percent chance of such a storm occurring between today and Thursday.
Flares from 3559 had already disrupted radio communications in the South Pacific, Fiji and the northeast coast of Australia, data showed.

“The storm that formed on the 21st is predicted to hit today, and it certainly looks like it’s going to be a flicker of a blow (this time to the south of the Earth),” said Space Weather host Skov. YouTube.
“I say this because we have a neutron monitor.” [ground-based detectors that measure particles from space] It shows that a massive solar storm is currently near Earth.
“A flank (or edge) skid is possible as early as later today, but NASA’s Moon-to-Mars (M2M) Space Weather Analysis Office forecasts for this scenario only show active conditions, with G1 That means it won’t even reach the storm level.
SWPC indicates a G1 storm warning will be in effect until Thursday.
This is a small storm that could weaken power grid fluctuations and affect satellite operations.
Skoff said the flare from 3559 was the largest seen in recent weeks and had already disrupted radio communications in the South Pacific, Fiji and over the northeast coast of Australia.
Skov described the second flare from 3561 (pictured) as “the most visually stunning solar storm outbreak of yesterday”, with elements directed toward Earth.
“Migratory birds are affected to a greater degree than this. Northern lights are commonly seen in higher latitudes (northern Michigan and Maine),” SWPC shared on its website.
Skov described the second flare from 3561 as “the most visually beautiful solar storm that occurred yesterday” and that it has elements directed toward Earth.
The region experienced a medium-sized M4.3 flare that caused short-term radio interference that affected the Earth’s polar regions.
However, Skov noted that there were some minor problems with high-frequency radio communications near the equator and in South America.
“Between NASA and NOAA model runs, the earliest prediction is for it to arrive at 9:00 PM ET on January 25th, but forecasts also indicate it could move more slowly. I am.”
In that case, the attack could occur as early as 1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 26th.
“NOAA SWPC has set up a G1 storm watch from now through January 26th.”
