We were looking at first discovered by Galileo in the early 17th century, and after that later on in 1859 by an English amateur astronomer by the name of Richard Christopher Carrington. Now, they haven't only been observed on the sun, they have also been viewed on other stars too.<br /> <br /> A solar flare is usually a large [http://www.sunexplosion.com explosion in the sun] atmosphere which can release about 6 × 1025 joules of energy(with regards to a sixth of the total energy output of the sun each second). Although difficult to predict their occurrence with any certainty, the only warning lies in the incontrovertible fact that most proton storms take some hours from the time of visual detection to realize earth's orbit (providing very little time to organize because of its impact).<br /> <br /> Solar flares come from an activity called magnetic reconnection whereby opposite magnetic fields on the sun's surface agree creating a sudden release of energy. Solar flares affect all layers of the solar atmosphere (photosphere, corona, and chromosphere), causing plasma to cook to tens of millions of kelvins(one of measurement of temperature) and accelerating electrons, protons, and heavier ions to near the speed of light. In fact, while the fastest holiday to the moon took 8 hours and 38 minutes, solar flares generally only 8 minutes to discover their way into the earths ionosphere an may have damaging effects. These flares produce radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum by any means wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays and for that reason, may cause damaging effects on the earth like: Loss of power systems, radiation poisoning, rendering chip ran vehicles powerless, affecting inter-planetary travel for astronauts, and even hand held phones (together with other electronics) and satellite interruptions (and also other systems operating at those frequencies).<br /> <br /> Most flares occur in active regions around sunspots (visible dark spots on the photosphere of the sun), where intense magnetic fields penetrate the photosphere (deepest region of the sun) to link the corona (type of plasma atmosphere that extends far into space) to the solar interior. Flares are powered by the sudden release of magnetic energy stored in the corona. Should a solar flare is exceptionally powerful, it can coronal mass ejections(massive burst of wind, plasma, magnetic energy is released into space).<br /> <br /> Solar activity varies using an 11-year cycle (the solar cycle). At the peak of the cycle you will discover typically more sunspots on the Sun, therefore more solar flares. NASA predicts as the sun approaches its 11 year cycle in 2012, when the sun aligns with the milky way galaxy(an event which only occurs approx. every 211,000 years), improves the amount of solar flares the sun experiences and maybe increased dangers to the earth (on account of potential increased coronal mass ejections).<br /> <br /> Although solar flares is often troublesome at times, they have also been caused by bringing about the breathtaking northern and southern polar lights phenomenons for example the aurora borealis and aurora australis.<br /> <br /> The noticably solar storm in history happened in 1859 (called the Carrington Event named after English amateur astronomer Richard Christopher Carrington)causing telegraph wires in both the Usa and Europe to spontaneously short out (lasting 8 days), causing numerous fires, and the phenomena of the Northern Lights to become observed as far south as Rome, Havana and Hawaii. Rrt had been recorded that the Northern Lights were so bright, online businesses read the newspaper solely by reviewing the illumination. Of late, a 1994 solar storm caused major malfunctions to 2 communications satellites, disrupting newspaper, network television and nationwide radio service throughout Canada.<br /> <br /> Whether the sun is going to be in its active or quiet period on or before 2012, scientists can only predict. The truth remains that solar storms occur almost daily and therefore are completely a part of our existence. The National Academy of Sciences report says a huge solar event could induce ground currents that is going to knock out 300 key transformers within about 90 seconds. Like with any impending threats to the earth, it will always be a good idea to hold fast to the old addage,&quot;it's better to be secure than sorry&quot; and stay cooked by informing yourself on the way to survive a large solar storm.<br /> <br /> Reference [http://www.sunexplosion.com moon].</div> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 23:01:29 GMT SungBarbee844 http://beta.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:SungBarbee844
