Geomagnetic Storms Bring Satellites Down Faster
When the Sun rages and storms in Earth's direction, it changes our planet's atmosphere. The atmosphere puffs up, meaning satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) meet more resistance. This resistance creates orbital decay, dragging satellites to lower altitudes. One researcher says we can change the design of satellites to decrease their susceptibility.
In an amazing turn of history, a natural phenomenon shook the Earth in 1859, offering an unforgettable lesson about the power of the cosmos and the fragility of human technology.We refer to the solar storm known as the "Carrington Event", which caused massive falls in telegraph networks due to the intense explosion of energy released by the Sun.Although more than 150 years have passed since that catastrophic event, space science experts do not f…
A fissure in the Sun will provoke a geomagnetic storm that will reach the Earth on Saturday, June 14. This event, although not a great danger, could affect satellites, communication networks and generate unusual auroras. We explain to you why it happens, what a coronal hole is, how it could affect you and what precautions to take.
