TECHNOLOGY BEWARE ! SOLAR STRORMS CAUSED COMMUNICATION DISORDERS

U.S. government warns for the users, satellite, telecommunications and other electronic equipment, be prepared disorder due to solar flares on the sun, Reuters reported on Saturday (6 / 8).

Last week, three coronal mass ejections (CME) is released after the solar flares of the sun. The first of August 2 and the other two the next day. CME arrived on Earth August 4 at around 17:00 EDT, while the other two arrived on earth on August 5, 13:20 EDT.

Due to the entry of CME to Earth causes a strong pressure to the magnetosphere and is expected to cause minor to moderate disturbances in the power grid at high latitudes. Reuters reported the disorder may occur again the next few days.

Meanwhile, according to Joseph Kunches a scientist space weather from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center, told the wire service on Saturday (6 / 8) then, "Hurricane magnetic going to occur is estimated to be in levels of moderate and strong. With the value two or three out of five in the scale of NOAA's space weather. "

Kunches told Reuters that solar storms can affect the communications, global positioning system (GPS) satellites, and can produce auroras (the display light in the sky) that can be seen ... In the past these events have occurred that resulted in major disruption of the 1989 which resulted in six million residents of Quebec blackout for several hours. However Kunches doubt similar impact would occur.

Meanwhile, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center Director Tom Bogdan told the news agency, that the storm could become worse in three or five years and subsequent events expected next year.
