Xiaofu discovered
Recently our sun
Seems to be a little "grumpy"
Since May
The sun continues to erupt violently
Just one week
Dozens of flares erupted
The intensity and frequency of outbreaks are historically rare
It's not
Geomagnetic storm is here again!
The National Space Science Center is projected
Today, May 11 (Beijing time)
The geomagnetic field will produce strong disturbances
A red warning for geomagnetic storms has been issued
National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center
09:00 on May 11
A red alert for geomagnetic storms has been issued

Geomagnetic storms
It is a typical solar eruption activity
When the sun erupts
Coronal mass ejections occur
One projectile energy
will be hundreds of millions of tons of solar matter
at high speeds of hundreds to thousands of meters per second
Throw away from the surface of the sun
These substances include more than that
Kinetic energy is the result of a huge mass and velocity
It also carries the powerful magnetic energy of the sun
Once they hit the Earth
This will cause a change in the direction and magnitude of the geomagnetic field
i.e. geomagnetic storms
Except for high-frequency communications
GPS navigation, power grid, satellite, etc
to cause impact
Geomagnetic storms
It's not all bad
For example, the one that comes with a geomagnetic storm
And the aurora!
Xinjiang Altay was shocked by the beautiful aurora
According to the National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center
Affected by coronal mass ejection events
From the evening of May 10 to the early morning of May 11
The Earth's magnetic field exploded
Very geomagnetic storm (kp=9)
Under the combined action of the Earth's magnetic field and the atmosphere
Mohe in Heilongjiang and parts of Xinjiang
Brilliant aurora borealis appeared in all of them
Even northern Hebei and northern Shaanxi
The figure of the aurora was recorded

Multiple netizens
Also posted on social media
The aurora that I photographed
Some netizens said
As the Western Hemisphere goes into the night
News of the aurora has also come from many states in the United States
Even the Southern Hemisphere
Namibia is only 20 degrees south latitude
There are auroras
This is since the "Halloween Storm" in 2003
One of the world's widest sightings of the aurora
Two days in the future
Solar storms continue to be active
Mid- and high-latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere
You can still see it
Aurora in a large area
Do geomagnetic storms affect the human body?
Today
Multiple Weibo topics related to geomagnetic storms
#大地磁暴又来了#
#超大地磁暴发生了#
Sparked heated discussions
Many netizens joked
I have a headache and feel unwell
All are affected by geomagnetic storms
▽
Is that really the case?
This pot, geomagnetic storm can not be carried back
National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center
Director of the Space Weather Technology R&D Office
Indication of the Throne Country:
Geomagnetic storms will not have any impact on the body and air travel, although there will be some interference with electronic communication products, but the impact is very small, and there are countermeasures.
Geomagnetic storms have no effect on the human body
But this intense geomagnetic activity
may affect
Animals' ability to migrate and navigate
For example, carrier pigeons, turtles, etc
An animal that relies on the geomagnetic field to sense direction
When the magnetic field is disturbed
will lead
Their routes, their migration routes
Change and cause "lost"
For the eruption of geomagnetic storms
What do you have to say?
