Scientists have revealed that the world was exposed to a huge solar storm launched by the sun that have widespread effects that cause power outages and radio networks are disrupted in several regions of the world, while experts warn that the next storm may be more severe.
A powerful solar storm causes global electrical interruptions
According to the British Daily Mail newspaper, at 11:30 am EST, the sun glowed from the X2.7, which is one of the strongest types of glows, issued by a dark solar region known as the AR4087, and the glow of the x category is classified as the most dangerous in the solar storm scale, because of its ability to destroy satellites and influence communications networks Electric energy.
As this glow resulted from a sudden magnetic explosion in a cold area on the surface of the sun, causing a tremendous flow of radiation and plasma towards the Earth at the speed of light, which led to the ionization of the upper atmosphere and the disturbance of high frequency radio signals, especially in areas such as Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, which was on the daytime side of the Earth during the explosion.
The scientists pointed out that AR4087 will enter in the coming days in a direct alignment with the Earth, which increases the risk of repeating these solar storms.

For his part, Vincent Leidvina, a specialist in tracking the polar twilight, said through a post on the X platform: The situation is getting more severe as this active area approaches directly to the Earth, adding that the solar stain also launched a glow of the M5.3 category, and then followed it with another more intense glow than the M7.74.
Last May, the United States conducted an exercise to simulate the effect of a severe solar storm, which revealed large gaps in the capabilities of rapid response and the prediction of space weather, and the participating authorities concluded that the huge coronary emissions that take days to reach the Earth may cause widespread disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field, which leads to a state of technological chaos, and enhances the need to update early warning systems And forecast.
Space experts stressed that the solar activity will continue to escalate during the coming period, which requires taking preventive measures to protect technological infrastructure around the world.
