Researcher at the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences Nathan Eismont talked about how a giant solar explosion would affect Earth. About this report “Paragraph”.
According to Eismont, such a release could lead to magnetic storms on Earth. As the expert clarified, this would happen if the plasma flew towards Earth. However, it is still too early to make precise forecasts – the magnitude and timing of the possible consequences will depend on the speed and strength of the cloud.
At the same time, Eismont added that a possible magnetic storm could affect weather-sensitive people, or even damage power lines.

“If there is a very strong wave, there can be problems with the main power line and a loss of power. Usually, they prepare for this and put it in safe mode. “With Earth satellites, the consequences are the same—interruption or even failure if not put in safe mode,” he said.
Previously on the Sun happened releases a large “striking king.”
