Launching the Solar Dynamics Observatory NASA last February, researchers at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire (England) had warned about the effects of solar winds during the Olympic Games in 2012. NASA experts back to warn of potential danger to Earth the explosion of a single large space storm generated over 150 million miles away, on the surface of the Sun, published by English daily ABC.
"An extremely intense solar activity, in the coming years are expected, increasing levels would cause an unprecedented disaster. Our energy and communication systems would be seriously damaged by the scope of solar plasma and our comfortable Western lifestyle system, which relies more than ever on technology, would collapse like a house of cards, "the newspaper published the portal.
launch new satellites to study the Sun
Picard The satellite dedicated to studying changes in the Earth caused by the sun and the sun's influence on climatic variations was launched into space Tuesday at 14:42 hours from the Russian space base Yasny, reported in National Center of Space Studies of France (CNES).
The Picard was sent into space on a Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr rocket, along with satellites MANGO TANGO and the Franco-Swedish scientific mission PRISMA, designed to study the formation flying satellites, including .
The Picard will measure the speed of rotation of the Sun, the intensity of its rays, the presence of spots on its surface, its shape and diameter to analyze the relationship between these parameters and provide the star storm.
This will serve to assess the influence that the star developments in global temperatures and their contribution to climate change phenomenon, said the CNES. The satellite will serve to "reconstruct" the climatic history of the Sun and thus shed light on past observations about its diameter, were made in the seventeenth century.
was when there was a decrease in average temperature, the phenomenon known as the "Maunder Minimum" (1645-1715) and experts seeking to find confirmation that this event caused in the Sun cooling on Earth.
From that time only have data for measuring the solar diameter made by the French astronomer Jean Picard and now seeks to demonstrate that there was a relationship between them and the solar activity
