GeomagnetismViolence is a causeSolar stormsprovoked phenomena, which violently disturb the Earth's magnetic field, to humans andSatellitesThere are a range of implications. Recently, it has appeared frequently in the northern part of ChinaGeomagnetismStorm, not only brought gorgeousAurora, also sparked a pair ofAstronauticsandSatellitessecurity concerns. So,GeomagnetismIs there a pro or a bad in the end?This article will review theGeomagnetismThe interpretation of violence and the elaboration of its impact bring readers and friends a more comprehensive understanding.
GeomagnetismViolent isThe sunA phenomenon in which activity causes a large-scale and violent disturbance of the Earth's magnetic field. WhenThe sunWhen an eruptive activity releases large amounts of energetic particles and energy to the Earth, these particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field and are triggeredGeomagnetismStorms occur. According to the national spaceWeatherData from the Monitoring and Warning Center indicate that there is a possibility of a small to moderate level on December 4 this yearGeomagnetismStorm, this is already the seventh time in 2023GeomagnetismViolent activity. GeomagnetismThe frequent occurrence of riots is because:The sunThe event is on an 11-year cycle, and it is in the middle of nowThe sunactivity in the ascending phase, soGeomagnetismViolent phenomena are more frequent.
GeomagnetismStorm can not only bring beautyAuroraLandscape, also rightAstronauticsandSatellitesThe normal operation of the company has had an impact. First of all,GeomagnetismViolent causesAstronauticsThe flight speed of the aircraft slows down, the altitude decreases, and even causes a crash. This is becauseGeomagnetismThe movement of atmospheric particles caused by the storm intensified, resulting in the expansion of the atmosphere by heat and spread at high altitudes, and the density of the atmosphere increased significantly. And inSpaceAstronauticsDue to the greater flight resistance, the flight speed of the aircraft is constantly slowed down, which in turn leads to a decrease in altitude, forming a vicious circle that threatensAstronauticsOn-orbit safety of the instrument. On February 3, 2022, the United StatesSpaceExploreTechnology49 Starlink launched by the companySatellitesBecause of the receivingGeomagnetismThe impact of the storm, which could not effectively avoid the effect of atmospheric drag, resulted in 40 piecesSatellitesCrashed off orbit. In addition, in orbitSatellitesIt will also be becauseGeomagnetismProblems such as data loss and functional failure may occur.
Except for the pairAstronauticsandSatellitescaused by the direct impactGeomagnetismViolence will be rightAnimals's ability to navigate. Carrier pigeonsIt is numerousAnimalswith excellent navigation skills, they usually use the help ofThe sunwithGeomagnetismNavigate to find the nest. However,GeomagnetismViolent productionGeomagnetismPerturbations interfereCarrier pigeons, making it impossible for them to return to their nest smoothly. According to statistics, on December 1st, the pigeons participatedCarrier pigeonsThe homing rate is only in the tens of percent, which is far below the usual level. This phenomenon shows thatGeomagnetismViolent pairsAnimals's navigation behavior has a significant impact, causing them to experience difficulties during migration and food hunting.
GeomagnetismThe effects of radiation caused by storms on the human body are limited. In general,GeomagnetismStorms have a shorter duration, lower levels of radiation released, and negligible health effects on humans. However, when aircraft are flying at higher latitudes, due to higher levels of exposure, airlines take steps to change routes to reduce radiation exposure to passengers and crew. Ordinary people are inGeomagnetismRadiation levels during storms are low, so there is no need to be overly concerned.
For professional users, such as responsibleAstronauticsDepartments and personnel of the mission, the national spaceWeatherThe monitoring and warning center will send it out in advanceGeomagnetismStorm warning information, so that they can take corresponding preventive measures. AstronauticsandSatellitesThe relevant departments will be in advanceSatellitesCarry out a lifting to ensure that it is in theGeomagnetismSafe operation during storms. At the same time, the early warning agency will also remindAstronautsTake extra precautions to ensure their health and safety.
GeomagnetismViolent isThe sunA common phenomenon in the cycle of activity, which brings beautyAuroraBoth a natural wonder and a foreshadowingAstronauticsandSatellitesSecurity challenges. GeomagnetismViolent forAstronauticsdevice,SatelliteswithAnimalswill have an impact on the ability to navigate, thoughSciencePreventive measures have been taken and studies have been carried out to ensure their safety and protect the ecological balance. For humans,GeomagnetismThe impact of radiation on human health is negligible, and there is no need to be overly concerned. In the future, we should continue to conduct in-depth research and monitoringGeomagnetismViolent phenomena to better understand and exploit this natural phenomenon.
