2013, the Peak of Solar Storms

Solar storms, like the massive explosion that occurred in the sun on August 9, will become more and more frequently erupted when the sun is approaching its maximum level of activity in 2013. Solar storm that occurred Tuesday 9 Solarflare Agutus 2011 and is the strongest since 2006, and reached X6, 9 based on a three-class scale solar storms. Class X is the strongest storm, Class M is at the secondary level, and C is the weakest.

U.S. space agency, NASA, predicts such a glowing energy will become commonplace in the near future, when approaching the sun's magnetic activity cycle of 11 years. The sun began to rise from sleep, and researchers estimate the peak of the next activity will occur in 2013. The current cycle, Solar Cycle 24 which, beginning in 2008.

"Activity in the explosion will continue to rise," said Phil Chamberlin, solar expert at the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, in Greenbelt, one of the scientists in the project Solar Dynamics Observatory, a solar observation satellite launched in February 2010. "In one or two years into the future, we will see more events like this, maybe even bigger."

Earth's lucky, few solar storm that occurred recently is not directed to the earth, so that burst of particles bermuatannya not sent in our direction, but into space. In the future, the earth might not be so lucky now.

"We are in a new cycle, its activity was awakened, and we'll see a storm like that again," said Joe Kunches, space expert at the Center for Space Weather forecast in Nationai Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). "They will often occur, and we will also be more accustomed to." Researchers said the spacecraft like the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which records the solar storm last August 9, 2011 in the video, and a number of other observers rides will be very important in monitoring the sun during this active phase.*** [SPACE | KORAN TEMPO 3618]
