According to the forecast of National Space Weather Warning Center 15, a solar flare of X 1.5 magnitude broke out at 22: 00 15 world time, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection. Due to the influence of this solar flare, the solar high-energy proton flux has increased again, and the proton event is expected to end later today or tomorrow. Affected by the coronal mass ejection that reached the magnetosphere on 14, a big magnetic storm has appeared, and it may develop into a very big magnetic storm, which is expected to end on 16. The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that broke out on 14 may reach the Earth on 16, when another big magnetic storm may occur.
The expert said that statistics show that solar flares have many effects. Affected by this solar flare, a big geomagnetic storm happened today. It has been proved that short-wave communication, such as short-wave broadcasting, has had an impact all over the country, but there is no exact data to show the extent of the impact. Secondly, it will affect the use of satellite-to-ground communication, such as GPS navigation and positioning. Third, although it has not been investigated, solar flares will affect the positioning of homing pigeons in theory and practice.
The expert said that the magnetic storm will not affect mobile phone communication, and there is no clear evidence that it will affect human health.
According to the National Space Weather Warning Center, the solar proton event caused by the solar flare that broke out on 14 is expected to last for about two days. Affected by magnetic storms, ionospheric storms may occur, which will affect short-wave communication for a long time. (
