Power cuts threat as sun storm hits earth
Published on November 24, 2011
A huge mass of electrically-charged particles thrown out by a gigantic eruption on the Sun is due to strike the Earth tonight.
Scientists expect it to trigger one of the most violent geomagnetic storms ever recorded.
The result could be widespread power surges and even blackouts, disrupted TV and mobile phone signals, and broken down communication satellites.
The solar flare that caused the eruption burst out of a sunspot at 10.54am yesterday.
Last week another CME only hit the Earth a glancing blow, yet was able to disrupt airline communications.
But experts say that over the next two days the Northern Lights may be seen at latitudes as low as Florida and Texas – and even south enough to cover the whole of Europe.
