In mid-September, an active region of the Sun recorded very intense storms that affected the Earth's magnetic field. They generated distortions in the GPS signal and in European and American radio communications. According to the statements of the Spanish National Service of Space Meteorology, the Semnes. It has also reported that these solar storms keep space weather services around the world on alert. At the moment, it must be added, that there has been no major damage.
Earth's magnetic field, also called geomagnetic field, extends from the core of the planet to the limit where it meets the solar wind. Its operation, to understand it, is like that of a huge magnet. Unlike the latter, the Earth's magnetic field changes over time because it is generated by the movement of cast iron alloys in the outer core.
The solar storms that have hit us during September until today

The first solar flare was recorded on September 4. There was a slow eruption that caused almost no damage. Although magnetic disturbances were perceived on Spanish soil on the night of September 6 to 7, according to a statement by Consuelo Cid de Semnes. However, two days after the first flare, it was detected on September 6 the steepest in the last 10 years. It emitted high-energy particles. You can read more about this phenomenon in the article on solar storms and its impact on the Earth's magnetic field.
To understand us, the Sun was produced at the equivalent of an earthquake, with a significant shock wave, made a coronal mass ejection at a speed of 1.000 kilometers per secondSince then, the Sun has continued to explode and produce coronal mass ejections. A very strong one occurred on September 10th, producing another eruption equivalent to the one on the 6th.

The impact of the latter reached us yesterday Thursday. During yesterday and today it has been "scorching" the Earth's magnetic field. The intensity of this magnetic storm has been level 3 out of 5, which is similar to that of other geomagnetic storms. This is according to researchers from the Lebedev Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The winds reached speeds of 300 to 500 km/s. Last night, winds of up to 700km per second have been recorded. Almost double the average they usually reach. To better understand what is happening, it is interesting to read about the impacts of geomagnetic storms and how they can affect the Earth.
According to scientists, the storm has disrupted the Earth's magnetic field, which is now recovering. The effects it may have had on humans range from headaches to anxiety, nervousness, exhaustion, and irritability.
