REPORTS SAY A SOLAR STORM WILL HIT THE EARTH TODAY. NASA

By -

New Delhi, India: On March 28, a solar storm is predicted to impact Earth directly, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). A solar storm is a phenomenon in which electromagnetic eruptions from the sun's surface cause a significant number of particles to flow. According to NASA, there is a chance that a powerful solar storm will collide with the Earth's atmosphere in the United Kingdom.

However, it's worth mentioning that NASA and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration disagree on the time of the solar storm's collision with the Earth. According to NASA, the collision with the Earth would occur at 6 a.m. on March 28; however, NOAA of America estimates that the catastrophe occurred 18 hours earlier. During the strike, a bright glow can be observed in some parts of the UK.

The atmosphere will appear to glow when solar winds enter the Earth's magnetic field or atmosphere, which is known as Aurora Polaris. It's also known as Northern Light in the northern hemisphere.

Dr. Tamitha Skov, dubbed the "space weather woman," has forecast high-frequency radio difficulties and reception at any time of day on any side of the Earth when the storm strikes.

She also indicated that the collision's effects could be felt in the mid-latitudes. "It could be visible in rural areas of New York," she stated when asked if people will be able to see the brilliant light hitting the sky during a solar storm.

In addition, the Aurora will be visible in New Zealand, and a storm will hit Tasmania in the evening. The prospect of seeing light can be produced in these locations if there is enough darkness.

  Rahul Bajaj, an industrialist and former chairman of the Bajaj Group, died on February 12th. He was 83 years old when he died. "I am writing to notify you that Shri Rahul Bajaj, husband of the late Rupa Bajaj and father of Rajiv/Deepa, Sanjiv/Shefali, and Sunaina/Manish, has passed away. In the presence of his closest family members, he died on the afternoon of February 12th, 2022 "The Bajaj Group issued a statement. Rahul Bajaj had pneumonia as well as a heart condition. Dr. Purvez Grant, the managing trustee at Ruby Hall Clinic, said he had been admitted to the hospital for the past month. Rahul Bajaj passed away at 2.30 p.m. today. Rahul Bajaj, who was born on June 10, 1938, was the chairman of the Bajaj Group for more than 40 years. Rahul Bajaj stepped down as chairman of Bajaj Auto in April of last year and is now Chairman Emeritus of the company. In 2001, Rahul Bajaj received the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honour. Bajaj was also a member of th...

ELON MUSK'S STARLINK SATELLITE NETWORK HAS BEEN HIT BY A GEOMAGNETIC STORM, WITH AN ESTIMATED LOSS OF 40 SATELLITES

  Elon Musk's ambitious plan to bring low-latency broadband Internet connectivity to rural locations around the world via a constellation of small satellites in low-Earth orbit was recently dealt a costly setback, but there was little Musk or SpaceX could do about it. On February 3, SpaceX sent 49 satellites into orbit, but roughly 40 of them were damaged by a geomagnetic storm. The storm generated "up to 50% more drag than previous launches," preventing the deployed satellites from reaching their normal orbit above the Earth, according to SpaceX. Starlink tried to fly the satellites "edge-on (like a sheet of paper)" to save drag, but it's now looking like "up to 40 of the satellites will reenter or have already reentered the Earth's atmosphere" instead of reaching their destinations, according to SpaceX. However, the Musk-owned aerospace firm declared that there appeared to be "zero risk" of these satellites colliding with others...

SPACE AGENCY SAYS CHANDRAYAAN-2 ORBITER DETECTS SOLAR PROTON EVENTS ISRO

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems. Solar flares are dramatic explosions that occasionally spew out energetic particles (called Solar Proton Events or SPEs) into interplanetary space when the Sun is active. The majority of these are high-energy protons that have an influence on space systems and increase radiation exposure to astronauts. According ...
