Solar Flare causes radio blackouts on the Indian Ocean, can trigger a small geomagnetic storm

New Delhi: The sun emits a strong solar flare on Thursday, which affects the peak of the earth’s atmosphere, causing short radio blackouts around the Indian Ocean.
The blackout may have affected radio communication Aviator and Mariner for some time.
In the coming days, small geomagnetic storms are expected to hit the earth because of a storm cloud.
Solar scholars are intense radiation explosions from the release of magnetic energy associated with sun spots in the form of explosions.
The explosion emits radiation, containing radio waves, X-rays and gamma rays, crossing the length and the area of ​​the universe, sliding towards the planet, including the earth.
During a solar flare, very energetic charged particles are removed from the sun with speeds close to the speed of light.
These rays can disrupt the Earth Ionosphere region, which plays an important role in radio communication, explains NASA.
According to Spaceweather.com, “Sunspot AR2929 erupted on January 20, produced a strong M5.5 solar flare Short around the Indian Ocean.
Aviator, Mariners, and Radio Human Radio operators may have noticed unusual propagation effects at the frequency below 30 MHz.
“Space Weather Website said,” The newly arrived picture of the Solar Observatory and Heliospheric (plane European space) confirmed that the explosion also produced coronal mass (CME) ejection.
The cloud that appeared outside the earth ‘strike zone’.
It is expected to skip our planet, even though blows glancing on January 23-24 have not been ruled out.
“Solar flare, However, accelerate the storm with energetic particles towards the earth.
Radiation storm is relatively small.
There are no disadvantaged satellites.
However, many particles are channeled to the Polar Region of the Earth by the planet’s magnetic field, causing sustainable shortwave radio blackouts around the Arctic Antarctic and (especially), he said.
Geomagnetic anxiety is now possible from January 22 to 24 as a series of coronal mass ejections (CMES) giving a blow to the earth’s magnetic field.
Two of the Cmes were thrown into space by the M-Class Slats from Departing Sunspot AR2929; The third CME just left Sunspot AR2933, said the Weather Weather website.
None of the storm clouds will land a direct blow, but their combined effects can trigger a G1 minor geomagnetic storm, the website is stated.
Last year, the US and Atmospheric National Administration Space Prediction Center had said strong radio blackouts occurred in certain areas around the Atlantic Ocean on July 3.
