Powerful solar storm could zap satellites Strongest Solar Storm in 7 Years Hitting Earth Radiation alert Biggest since 2005 to peak today sends charged particles toward flare briefly disrupt communications Comment on hitting Since Headed Space station dwellers safe from massive radiation Hits The Northern Lights dance over northern England Eruption Triggers flares hit by biggest space almost seven years

Strongest solar storm since 2005 hitting Earth The sun is bombarding Earth with radiation from the biggest solar storm in more than six years with more to come from the fast-moving eruption. The Big Solar Storm Headed Our Way Is Only a Preview of Worse to Come We're getting to that part of the solar cycle during which we should expect to be hit by many solar storms that could endanger our electrical infrastructure. The biggest solar storm since 2005 is headed ... Solar storm burst expected to cause disruptions today Fast on the heels of a solar storm that delivered a glancing blow over the weekend -- triggering bright auroras in Canada and Scandinavia -- the sun released an even more energetic blast of radiation and charged plasma overnight Sunday into Monday that could disrupt GPS signals and the electrical grid today, especially at high latitudes, space weather experts warned. Biggest solar storm since 2005 underway, will peak Tuesday Fast on the heels of a solar storm that delivered a glancing blow over the weekend — triggering bright auroras in Canada and Scandinavia — the sun released an even more energetic blast of radiation and charged plasma overnight that could disrupt GPS signals and the electrical grid Tuesday, especially at high latitudes, space weather experts warned Monday. Read full article >> Strong solar storm lashes Earth Scientists say the Earth is being bombarded by radiation from the strongest solar storm since 2005, with effects that could last until Wednesday. Solar flare blasts radiation storm toward Earth A solar flare, seen on the top right, has caused a solar storm that could affect satellites and communications equipment in polar regions. (Credit: National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center) A fastball of high-energy matter from the Sun is blasting toward the Earth and is expected to cause the largest solar radiation storm since 2005. Late last night, a solar flare caused a ... Solar storm sends charged particles toward Earth The bombardment is expected to reach us Tuesday morning, but the threat to satellites and power grids appears to be low. A massive explosion on the sun's surface has triggered the largest solar radiation storm since 2005 and has unleashed a torrent of charged plasma particles toward Earth, though the threat to satellites, power grids and other high-tech hardware is believed to be manageable ... Solar storm sends particles toward earth today The bombardment is expected to reach us Tuesday morning, but the threat to satellites and power grids appears to be low. The solar storm may also disrupt satellite signals and radio frequencies Strong solar storm expected Tuesday A strong solar storm could impact the power grid, GPS and radio transmissions and make an aurora visible over much of North America Tuesday and early Wednesday. Strong solar storm on its way toward Earth BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 23 (UPI) -- A solar storm of energetic radiation and charged plasma could disrupt GPS signals and the electrical grid, U.S. space weather experts said.
