Since May
With the sun on the surface of the sun
Large groups of sunspots appear one after another
The sun continues to erupt violently
Just one week
Ten X-Class flares erupted
and more than 60 M-class flares
The intensity and frequency of outbreaks are historically rare
The National Space Science Center predicts that the geomagnetic field will produce a strong disturbance on May 11, Beijing time, and may reach the level of a geomagnetic storm. When a geodetic storm occurs, the atmospheric density will increase, and the orbital attenuation rate of low-orbit satellites will be further aggravated. The electron density of the ionosphere will be disturbed, which will affect the quality of radio wave communication and the accuracy of navigation and positioning. At the same time, in high latitudes, the beautiful aurora phenomenon will also reappear.
According to the National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center, the National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center issued a red warning for geomagnetic storms at 9 o'clock on May 11: geomagnetic storms will occur from 23 o'clock on May 10, 2024, Beijing time, and the maximum level will reach the level of super geomagnetic storms (Kp=9), and it is expected that the magnetic storm process will continue in the next 24 hours, and geomagnetic storms may still occur in the future.
Under the influence of geomagnetic storms, the ionosphere will be disturbed in most parts of the continent, and shortwave communication and navigation and positioning will be affected to varying degrees. A significant increase in the density of the upper atmosphere will lead to an increase in the orbital attenuation of low-orbit satellites. The National Space Weather Monitoring and Warning Center will closely track the development of the event and release forecast and early warning information in a timely manner.
Under the combined action of the earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, an aurora feast arrived as scheduled, and gorgeous auroras appeared in Mohe in Heilongjiang and parts of Xinjiang.
