NASA THÔNG BÁO CHÍNH THỨC


Đây là tin giật gân, không đúng, không có ǵ ghê gớm cả!!!

Băo mặt trời (solar storm, solar flare ) là 1 hiện tượng tự nhiên, khi mạnh khi yếu như gió băo trên

trái đất vậy, nó có chu kỳ 11 năm.
Băo mặt trời gây ảnh hưởng xấu trên vệ tinh và thiết bị điện
 từ, chứ không gây thảm họa lớn .

NASA không hề dùng chữ Catastrophic hay Devastation

Solar flare mà dịch ra  "nổ mặt trời " th́ thiệt là quá đáng

Vài bản tin, vài bài báo đă phóng đại cho giật gân quá trời

 Anh em ḿnh đừng sợ ǵ cả. 

Nói có sách, mách có chứng: Tôi vào trang web của NASA :http://www.nasa.gov xem thấy có bản tin

On August 1st, the sun emitted a C-class solar flare that spawned what scientists call a coronal mass ejection, or CME, headed toward Earth. The CME impacted Earth's magnetic field August 3rd. CMEs occasionally hit Earth. This CME will have few noticeable consequences beyond producing an aurorae.

The CME hit Earth's magnetic field on August 3rd at 1740 UT. The impact sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm that lasted nearly 12 hours--time enough for auroras to spread all the way from Europe to North America. The possible arrival of a second CME on August 4th might provide even better spectacular auroral displays.

CMEs are large clouds of charged particles that are ejected from the sun over the course of several hours and can carry up to ten billion tons of plasma. They expand away from the sun at speeds as high as a million miles an hour. A CME can make the 93-million-mile journey to Earth in just two to four days. Stronger solar storms could cause adverse impacts to space-based assets and technological infrastructure on Earth.

The sun goes through a regular activity cycle about 11 years long. The last solar maximum occurred in 2001 and its recent extreme solar minimum was particularly weak and long lasting. These kinds of eruptions are one of the first signs that the sun is waking up and heading toward another solar maximum expected in the 2013 time frame.

Nasa warns solar flares from 'huge space storm' will cause devastation

Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time, after the earth is hit by a once-in-a-generation “space storm”, Nasa has warned.

National power grids could overheat and air travel severely disrupted while electronic items, navigation devices and major satellites could stop working after the Sun reaches its maximum power in a few years.

 

Senior space agency scientists believe the Earth will be hit with unprecedented levels of magnetic energy from solar flares after the Sun wakes “from a deep slumber” sometime around 2013, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

 

 

In a new warning, Nasa said the super storm would hit like “a bolt of lightning” and could cause catastrophic consequences for the world’s health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.

 

Scientists believe it could damage everything from emergency services’ systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control devices, through to “everyday” items such as home computers, iPods and Sat Navs.

 

Due to humans’ heavy reliance on electronic devices, which are sensitive to magnetic energy, the storm could leave a multi-billion pound damage bill and “potentially devastating” problems for governments.

 

“We know it is coming but we don’t know how bad it is going to be,” Dr Richard Fisher, the director of Nasa's Heliophysics division, said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

 

“It will disrupt communication devices such as satellites and car navigations, air travel, the banking system, our computers, everything that is electronic. It will cause major problems for the world.

 

“Large areas will be without electricity power and to repair that damage will be hard as that takes time.”

 

Dr Fisher added: “Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the earth that is rapid and like a lightning bolt. That is the solar affect.”

 

A “space weather” conference in Washington DC last week, attended by Nasa scientists, policy-makers, researchers and government officials, was told of similar warnings.

 

While scientists have previously told of the dangers of the storm, Dr Fisher’s comments are the most comprehensive warnings from Nasa to date.

 

Dr Fisher, 69, said the storm, which will cause the Sun to reach temperatures of more than 10,000 F (5500C), occurred only a few times over a person’s life.

 

Every 22 years the Sun’s magnetic energy cycle peaks while the number of sun spots – or flares – hits a maximum level every 11 years.

 

Dr Fisher, a Nasa scientist for 20 years, said these two events would combine in 2013 to produce huge levels of radiation.

 

He said large swathes of the world could face being without power for several months, although he admitted that was unlikely.

 

A more likely scenario was that large areas, including northern Europe and Britain which have “fragile” power grids, would be without power and access to electronic devices for hours, possibly even days.

 

He said preparations were similar to those in a hurricane season, where authorities knew a problem was imminent but did not know how serious it would be.

 

“I think the issue is now that modern society is so dependant on electronics, mobile phones and satellites, much more so than the last time this occurred,” he said.

 

“There is a severe economic impact from this. We take it very seriously. The economic impact could be like a large, major hurricane or storm.”

 

The National Academy of Sciences warned two years ago that power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications could “all be knocked out by intense solar activity”.

 

It warned a powerful solar storm could cause “twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina”. That storm devastated New Orleans in 2005 and left an estimated damage bill of more than $125bn (£85bn).

 

Dr Fisher said precautions could be taken including creating back up systems for hospitals and power grids and allow development on satellite “safe modes”.

 

“If you know that a hazard is coming … and you have time enough to prepare and take precautions, then you can avoid trouble,” he added.

 

His division, a department of the Science Mission Directorate at Nasa headquarters in Washington DC, which investigates the Sun’s influence on the earth, uses dozens of satellites to study the threat.

 

The government has said it was aware of the threat and “contingency plans were in place” to cope with the fall out from such a storm.

 

These included allowing for certain transformers at the edge of the National Grid to be temporarily switched off and to improve voltage levels throughout the network.

 

The National Risk Register, established in 2008 to identify different dangers to Britain, also has “comprehensive” plans on how to handle a complete outage of electricity supplies.

Liam Fox forecasts new threat to vital services - solar flares

Published Date: 21 September 2010

By ALASTAIR DALTON

SOLAR flares bombarding the Earth with huge pulses of energy could cause chaos by knocking out electricity networks and satellites, the Defence Secretary warned yesterday.

Liam Fox said the UK government was working with businesses and space experts to "build collective resilience" against the threat.

Dr Fox's comments at a conference in London on infrastructure security follows the United States space agency, Nasa,

 

predicting a new wave of solar activity would peak in about three years' time.

He said: "Much of our critical national infrastructure depends on data and services delivered from, or through satellites, whose sensitive electronics are vulnerable to some of the radiation emitted by the Sun.

"Satellite operators recognise the effects of space weather, and the aviation industry has long been aware of the risk of exposing passengers to harmful levels of radiation at high altitude during severe solar events.

"However, effects on terrestrial infrastructure may be less obvious to service providers, such as the disruption to power networks, transport, telephone lines and essential services to our homes, businesses and government offices."

Dr Fox said the government would help efforts to improve the forecasting of such "space weather" and develop protective measures.

He said: "We are bringing together industry, academics, government and regulators in a collaborative approach to build collective resilience."

The Defence Secretary also warned that rogue states could detonate nuclear weapons in space to hit electricity and communications networks with a similar electro-magnetic pulse.

Solar flares are caused by explosions in the Sun's magnetic field, whose energy takes several days to reach Earth, 93 million miles away.

Current mitigation measures include disconnecting power lines or cutting transmission levels, moving high-flying military aircraft to lower altitudes and astronauts to safe areas. However, predicting their scale and timing is very difficult.

Professor John Brown, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, said: "Dr Fox's summary of the advice he has received is essentially correct.

"The risk of it happening is small, and probably far less than the risk of rogue attacks, most likely on software like power grid controls than by the vastly more difficult nuclear explosion in space.

"However, a solar incident could happen and be much more widespread, and there is no doubt our communications, food chains and medical care are fragile as well as sophisticated."

However, Eric Priest, the Gregory professor of mathematics at St Andrews University, predicted the next peak in solar activity would be lower than average.
