Sun is really an amazing endless source of energy.We call it Surya Narayana.the news that some geomagnetic storm is going to affect the earth`s electric fields is a disturbing news.Let us pray that it passes away with little or no damage.
Again there is news-Times of India-8th Feb2013-warning that Chaos ahead of us as solar mega storm is brewing.Now the news item says that these storms are caused by the sun ejecting billions of tonnes highly energetic matter travelling at 1609344kilometres per hour.These storms can not be predicted earlier than just 30 minutes before says the report quoting The Independent.Last solar storm was in 1859.The general consensus is these super storms are inevitable ,a matter not of`` if``but when.We on earth are now more vulnerable because now we are more dependent on modern electronic gadgets which can go out of service when such solar storms hit us.In 1989 a relatively minor such storm did knock out key electrical transformers in the Canadian national grid ,causing power blackouts.
Hope we are spared of this heavenly induced catastrophe.
