Solar Storm is likely to be felt on Earth tomorrow

Our planet is being bombarded by high-energy particles unleashed by the strongest solar storm since 2005, scientists say.


The storm has been caused by a so called potent flare that erupted from the Sun at 4am GMT on Sunday. Though the effects are likely to be felt on Earth throughout Wednesday, as the particles need some time for the journey from the Sun to Earth.


The charged particles are not necessarily dangerous for all human on our planet, they are mostly a concern for satellites and astronauts, who are currently in space.


Moreover it is possible that they cause communication problems for aircraft travelling near poles.


The only positive effect we could maybe experience are "Northern Lights" (aurorae) which are likely to occur in more southern regions that usually.


Personally I hope to see this fascinating "Northern lights" as I have never seen them in real life.
