Don't trust your electronic devices too much for the past two days

A world where you can watch the sunrise with your left hand and the sunset with your right hand. Intensified geomagnetic activity will also push the Aurora to the south.

On the evening of March 24, the Meteorological Bureau issued such an early warning, saying that a geomagnetic storm would be ushered in from March 24 to 26, which was a jaw-dropping warning that attracted widespread attention and discussion among netizens.

In the vast sky, our cars, mobile phones, and GPS are inseparable from satellite signals, and satellite signals are the "first to bear" the victims of geomagnetic storms, which may deviate from the original navigation path.

Everyone expressed concern that the navigation would fly with them, or that the alarm clock would not be on time, causing a wild laugh.

1. Affected equipment.

Geomagnetic storms will have a real impact on our lives, and there will be a situation of "weak mobile phone signal". In addition, these electronic devices commonly used in our daily life may not work properly.

The GPS and Beidou systems using satellite positioning are out of the state of high-precision positioning, which may lead to deviation from the path, but it may not have reached the point of deviation.

At high latitudes, the Northern Lights can be seen.

After this outbreak, the inhabitants of the Huanghuai region in northern China can also expect to see this spectacle.

2. Disasters in the movie.

The natural disasters in the movie are not far from us, so let's first feel what kind of scene the geomagnetic storm will bring!

The earth magnetic storm is coming, is it a natural disaster that only happens in the movie?

We can feel it through the movie "Deep Sea". The film is about a laboratory in the depths of the Indian Ocean, which is known as "the deepest part of the world". The members of the team dived into the deepest depths and worked hard for the development of science.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they did not expect that the truth here could be so cruel.

The most intense "magnetic storm" on Earth came, and the entire laboratory became a "deadly hell".

The seemingly beautiful undersea laboratory, after being swallowed by a magnetic storm, inexplicably became eerie and terrifying, without the sensational packaging in the movie, with the "lighting effect", it is also very sensitive, scary, and exciting.

Now, when a magnetic storm comes, and the equipment we talked about before will fail, then there will definitely be a different scenery on the bottom of the sea.

3. "Aurora" is coming!

"Magnetic storms" will not only affect equipment and change lives, but also allow us to see beautiful "auroras".

How did the annual "aurora" come about, and what was the impact of this magnetic storm?

When a geodetic magnetic storm passes, in addition to affecting our lives a lot, it will also allow us to see the annual customized "aurora" in Huanghuai and other places.

When the solar activity is extremely strong and a large number of high-energy particles are released, some of the particles will reach the earth, penetrate the atmosphere, and collide with the atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, thus releasing high-energy photons, and the spectrum appears.

This is what we commonly see as the "aurora".

Geomagnetic storms will allow us to see the common "Northern Lights" in the north.

So after this outbreak, perhaps residents of Huanghuai and other places in northern China will also have the opportunity to see the Finnish-level "aurora" landscape.

The author believes that this geomagnetic storm is not as strong as we imagined, and since nature is so "lucky" to show us off the "Northern Lights", then we should treat it as a "visual feast".

For this "magnetic storm", you don't have to be too nervous and worried, most of the time, you still use your mobile phone, navigation, watch TV, and live as usual.

And the most important thing for everyone to understand is that the power of nature cannot be changed and resisted, and what we can do is to take preventive measures to protect the environment.
