Massive solar storm to hit Earth in 2012 with a force of 100 million
hydrogen bombs is a possibility
Aug 26 2010 -Melbourne Australia - Astronomers are predicting
that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that
caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our
planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive
flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that
had the potential to wipe out the entire planet's power grid.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA's been watching out for this storm since 2006 and
reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most
Hollywood of disaster dates - 2012.
Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out
telegraph wires on a massive scale. The 2012 storm has the potential to be
even more disruptive.
"The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar
astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into
2013) will be the most violent in 100 years," News.com.au quoted astronomy
lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke as saying.
"A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most,
namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with
modern GPS systems.
"They can even trip circuit breakers and knock out orbiting satellites, as
has already been done this year," added Reneke.
No one really knows what effect the 2012-2013 Solar Max will have on today's
digital-reliant society.
Dr Richard Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics division, told Reneke the
super storm would hit like "a bolt of lightning", causing catastrophic
consequences for the world's health, emergency services and national
security unless precautions are taken.
NASA said that a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found
that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause "1 to 2 trillion
dollars in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to
10 years for complete recovery".
The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar
Cycle 24.
Most experts agree, although those who put the date of Solar Max in 2012 are
getting the most press.
They claim satellites will be aged by 50 years, rendering GPS even more
useless than ever, and the blast will have the equivalent energy of 100
million hydrogen bombs.
"We know it is coming but we don't know how bad it is going to be," Fisher
told Reneke.
"Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the
Earth and it's rapid, just like a lightning bolt. That's the solar effect,"
he added.
The findings are published in the most recent issue of Australasian Science.
