My article is about the sun releasing solar flares from the surface of the sun. These flares happened late Tuesday night traveling up to 4 million mph through space. Blasts of plasma and charged particles were headed towards Earth. Many radio transformers, and satellites will be effected by these solar flares due to the fact that there were so many radiation and the magnetic field. These disruptions should be happening throughout the day today and should only continue for 24 hours. I like this article very much because this is important for the future because when the sun does decide to burst the Earth will be effected by it. Very interesting article for today!
It will be interesting to see what effects the solar flares will have on communications and power grids. I know they are not expecting much other than stronger Aurora Borealis extending south to the northern US. I heard over the weekend that the sun sent out another strong set of solar radiation, so we'll see if this has any more impact than the first one.
