Earth is attacked by the strongest force of the century radiation storm. Scientists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences warned about this. The latest indicators that the measuring device can transmit to Earth amount to 37 thousand proton units. Then the equipment failed, the lab reported.
“This is completely inexplicable. A record value was achieved in the 21st century,” the statement said.
Perhaps the radioactive storm was a consequence unusual explosion on the Sun's surface, recorded a day earlier. The event occurred in the center of the Sun's disk facing our planet. The entire central portion of the Sun, about half a million kilometers across, is involved.
The consequences of such cosmic explosions will be felt by humans and devices. Astronauts on the International Orbiting Station find themselves in the most vulnerable position. In such a situation, they are forbidden to go into outer space. On Earth, disruptions in radio communications and navigation errors could occur within days, scientists have warned. People who are weather dependent may feel unwell.
