A series of powerful flashes in the sun led to noticeable consequences on our planet. Many complain of poor health, decay, depression and headaches.
On September 6, the most violent outbreak in the last 12 years occurred on the Sun. She was awarded a score of X9.3. The section of the Sun, in whose territory the outbreak occurred, continued its activity until September 8. He emitted another 4 flashes.
What are the risks of outbreaks in the sun and what do they lead to?
Magnetic storms
During the outbreaks, a huge amount of energy is allocated, comparable to billions of megatons in TNT. Huge masses of solar particles rush to the Earth. Under their influence, the electromagnetic field of our planet is deformed, and magnetic storms occur.
Magnetic storms cause deterioration of the state of meteodependent people, exacerbation of chronic diseases, changes in blood pressure. Some may respond to storms with impaired vision.
Increase in the number of accidents
During magnetic storms there is a kind of failure in the human nervous system: it starts to noticeably slow down. Even in a healthy person these days, attention may be weakened, and the speed of reaction - to decrease by 3 times. Therefore, if possible, it is better not to sit behind the wheel during solar flares. The road should be crossed only by pedestrian crossing.
Increased number of heart attacks and strokes
It is established that in the period of magnetic storms the number of heart attacks increases, therefore, all chronic patients should take all the medications prescribed to them and in no case miss the intake.
Stress
It's hard these days to people who suffer from stress, mental and nervous diseases. During this period, their condition may worsen. Such people should avoid conflicts, sleep well and take soothing decoctions of herbs.
Failures of communication systems and navigation and space technology
Solar flares have a negative impact not only on people's health, but also on the work of various mechanisms. For example, after the recent outbreaks, the quality of communication in the countries of America and Europe deteriorated. In addition, there may be disruptions in the operation of navigation space technology. Satellites, airplanes, as well as GPS navigation can be disabled.
The danger for astronauts and passengers of jet aircraft
A special danger of a flash on the Sun is for astronauts who are in outer space. Powerful fluxes of protons increase the level of radiation, and if we, being on the Earth protected from it by layers of the atmosphere, then the conquerors of the cosmos can be subjected to strong irradiation.
Passengers of jet aircraft are also exposed to a greater degree.
Northern Lights
The most pleasant side effect from solar flares can be spectacular polar lights in uncharacteristic latitudes for them.
