Strong sun flare on the way to the ground Saturday

Strong solar flares on the road to the land, should arrive on Saturday night January 21. Along with the exhibition of a great light to expect that shown in the northern sky, and electricity networks across the country to get more attention from scientists and researchers today. Is expected to monitor the power grid and satellite launch turbulence that this energy can cause.

From now until mid-2012, on the floor at the peak of 11-year cycle of solar storms and flares as routine, and was the strongest solar flares can cause problems on Earth, according to Jim Hagen, James, Regional Director for North America and the International Association of Emergency Management. He is also professor at the Graham School of Management at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. Hagen believes that these solar flares and bringing with them a little more than colored light shows and they come with a concern.

And solar flares release particles of radiation that cause havoc in communications and Earth's magnetic field and arrive in poor condition of the electricity of the clouds of plasma and magnetic fields associated with the emission of these flares. This happened in the past with solar flares as the header for the way the earth today, according to the Chicago Sun.

"It is the establishment of a strong electrical current along wires, and the destruction and alteration of the transfer of power transformers is likely, and may also be affected by complex electronics and satellites in space" , according to Hagen. Give some examples of the results of the last solar flares to the floor, with one on its way to the only planet with a strong and is expected to arrive Saturday night at a time.

Causing a large explosion in the solar phone service in Illinois to close in 1972, and many can remember back in 1989 when she was 6 million people without electricity in the cold winter night, such as the electrical grid throughout Quebec dropped from again from the solar flare. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station to hide inside the station, when a large solar storm flooded many of the sensors of the satellites in space in 2003.

This was a person without electricity for more than 24 hours of the known causes of these problems, especially if you live in a cold climate and an interrupt occurs during the winter months. However, if you have a secondary heat source such as wood stove or fireplace, it cools very quickly. Lost a lot of perishables in the refrigerator and freezer from a lack of electricity and the sense of isolation from the outside world, no television or radio quickly everywhere
