What will happen after a flash in the sun. Blazed not childishly: what threatens the Earth with the most powerful solar flare in recent decades

The earth has felt the consequences solar flare, the most powerful since 2005 and one of the five most powerful in the entire history of observation. Reportedly, it has already led to a deterioration in communications and interruptions in the operation of equipment in Europe and America, but no large-scale failures were recorded. Nevertheless, earthlings and, in particular, Muscovites should be vigilant in the near future. NASA informs: on September 6, 2017, two powerful flares occurred on the Sun with an interval of about 3 hours. The first - heliophysicists were assigned to the class X2.2. The flash that followed was three times more powerful - X9.3. Both were recorded by the SDO (NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory) solar observatory. In the classification of solar flares, class X is the most powerful, reminds "TVNZ"... The flares on September 6 were ejected from the active solar region 2673, which began to "spark" on September 4, but with less powerful flares. Area 2673 is facing the Earth - in fact, it “hits” it with almost direct fire. Therefore, the consequences of the "shelling" can be very serious. The electromagnetic radiation generated by the flashes spread at the speed of light. It has already reached Earth and has spoiled communications around the world. But the worst is perhaps to come. The flares, including the last one - the most powerful one - were accompanied by coronal ejections. That is, the Sun "spat" its plasma into the Earth. It will reach our planet on September 8 (). According to Georgy Goncharov, a leading scientific specialist at the Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the outbreak provoked a geomagnetic storm, which can affect the well-being and, as a result, the concentration of attention of some meteosensitive people. In this regard, the expert predicted a possible increase in the number of accidents on September 8 and urged both motorists and pedestrians to be more careful, as well as to closely monitor their children under 12 years of age. Yesterday, Sergei Bogachev, chief researcher at the Laboratory of X-ray Astronomy of the Sun of the Lebedev Physical Institute, told chrdk.ru that on the night of September 8, Muscovites are likely to see a phenomenon more than rare for the Russian capital - the aurora borealis. He also did not rule out that others, including even stronger ones, may follow the recent outbreak. Previously probable consequences of the most powerful solar flare in more than a decade on "Moskovsky Komsomolets" commented a researcher at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation Boris Filippov. He said that such events are most unpleasant for the astronauts on board the International space station, however, they also have the opportunity to protect themselves by hiding in the most protected from solar radiation segments of the ISS. At the same time, the specialist already noted yesterday that geomagnetic storms on Earth can lead to some deterioration in the well-being of meteorological people, as well as to disruptions in power lines, pipelines and communication lines (

In a word, it has its own indications and contraindications. The disease raged there for ten months and killed 716 people, about one in seven residents. In the second month, a cordon sanitation was established and the city was heavily blocked. Residents were forbidden, with the pain of death, to have anything to do with the investment troops. This instruction was strictly followed. They say that the peasant was shot for violating it and for giving the soldiers card game from the infected city.

The epidemic was strangled on the spot, and Italy, so often devastated by the plague, was saved this time. The Dumpling epidemic is more recent. This rendered big influence as it interrupted the dream of security that Europe enjoyed. Suddenly it got worse on November 29, and the infection began to spread to neighboring villages. Terror spread everywhere, and the scenes of horror that marked some of the epidemics of the Middle Ages were renewed: the abandonment of the sick, the flight of inhabitants, the dead were left without burial.

According to scientists, coronal ejections on the Sun often negatively affect the weather on planet Earth, BPEarthWatch reports. As a rule, similar phenomena on a luminary lead to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and so on.

Scientists warn that the release, which will be on July 16, 2017, will surpass in power all similar disturbances that occurred in recent times... According to them, this outbreak will cover the entire surface of the Earth. In this case, the brightness of the Sun itself will temporarily increase by several percent at once.

The government, belatedly, has taken measures to conserve energy. The first cordon sanitation officer surrounded the captured village; the second covered the area; the last circle of troops invests the entire province. Strict hygienic precautions, such as burning affected homes, destroying all items used by plague victims by fire, burying the dead in lime, helped to suppress the epidemic on the spot. momentarily disturbed the tranquility of Europe. All governments sent delegates to investigate the true nature of this disaster and the effectiveness of conservation measures.

Researchers warn that the Earth will be hit by a solar flare for several hours. At this time, powerful natural disasters may begin on the planet. Moreover, in such conditions, power and communication interruptions are extremely likely. In particular, according to experts, people should prepare for power surges and explosion of transformers.

Evil was little compared to what could be feared. Only twenty-two families were hit and three hundred and seventy-two casualties were received. Suppression of communication with the outside world remains ineffective because it is incomplete; only his inconveniences exist without compensation; and they are such that they aggravate the disease. Insufficient food supplies, the development of suffering, the morale of the inmates contribute to the ravages of the plague.

Calmette and Salimbeni objected to the maintenance of the cordon orderly, which was established at the beginning. The Medical Society of Lisbon joined the protests from the entire medical corps, and the Portuguese government decided on September 13 to suppress the blockade. These are measures that replace the old isolation cordon; together they form a third protective belt through which modern states may try to protect themselves from the invasion of epidemic diseases.

Recall that scientists regularly report on powerful flares in the sun. According to some theories, these emissions could even lead to an apocalypse. In particular, a number of experts suggested that anomalies on the sun on June 24, 2017 would destroy humanity in three days. However, this thorium was not justified.

This is where the role of the sanitary police ends; science begins. There is one final resource that uses scientific vaccination and immunization procedures. What result can we expect from this campaign plan, in the current environment? Will we be able to keep the scourge in the many pockets that have been allowed to form and prevent it from spreading and invading us? The answer to this important question not very encouraging. The most knowledgeable scientists in this field give us no hope.

Members of the French mission say the disease will remain in Porto for months, possibly years. It's almost impossible, they add, to protect other European cities from pollution. Then Europe will be returned to the state where it was two centuries ago, before the disaster finally left its different countries... And now, again, she will master it.
