We again expect a strong magnetic storm

As soon as the sun will produce the next release of the plasma. A new surge in solar activity threatens to affect not only the health, but also to provoke a breach of radio communications on the planet.

Astronomers around the world struck by the appearance of spots on the sun giant for 80 000 kilometers in length and 40 000 kilometers in width. Originating in the north-eastern part of the fiery planet, it continues to grow, already surpassing its size planet. Scientists have recognized the anomaly of the largest in recent years of observations.

Spots like this becomes the epicenter of the ejection of solar plasma. Specifically, this education on Thursday 3 November provoked a very powerful flash that, though, and was sent to Venus, is still reflected in the terrestrial communications. According to NASA, the violation of radio communications systems in the world there were already 45 minutes after the release.

By the 10th of November, experts predict, in the area of ​​spots can occur a series of new disturbances. This burst of solar activity would be facing the world - the Russians almost two weeks will be under the influence of solar activity. If the flash is really would be so serious as expected, it is likely that the ground-based communications failures will occur. In addition, people who are sensitive to weather fluctuations, can suffer from the effects of magnetic storms. However, the immediate danger to the person, the assurances of scientists, the emissions do not represent the solar plasma.

The situation is aggravated by the fact that a "second cosmic event" is expected by scientists at the precise moment when the Earth will fly next to a huge 400-meter asteroid YU55. The asteroid will be held on November 9 at 2:22 Moscow time at a distance of 324,600 kilometers from Earth - the last time a similar approach to the Earth of a cosmic body was held in 1976.

Despite such a close encounter, NASA scientists have assured: the space object, as opposed to a possible solar activity does not pose absolutely no threat to the health of the inhabitants of the Earth.
