‘Solar tsunami’ may hit Earth anytime: Scientists
London: The Earth could be hit by a “solar tsunami” anytime now as an unusually complex magnetic eruption on the Sun has flung a large cloud of electrically charged particles towards our planet, scientists have warned.
Several satellites, including NASA's new Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), recorded on Sunday a small solar flare erupting above sunspot 1092, the size of the Earth. The satellites also recorded a large filament of cool gas stretching across the Sun's northern hemisphere also exploded into space.
