Researchers have warned that a firestorm has erupted from the sun and that it will cause a disaster if it hits the Earth. It is not known when this storm, which is about 1 million km long, will hit the Earth. Scientists have said that they do not even know the chances of this happening. Researchers have named this storm AR4087. This explosion occurred at 4:25 am today. Due to this, radio signals have been blocked across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Researchers say that it belongs to the X2.7 category. Researchers have divided solar storms into A, B, C, M, and X. If A is dangerous, then B is 10 times more dangerous. If you look at it that way, type X is the most terrible.

Researchers also say that the solar storm that has erupted now is like a firebird. If it had been a little more intense, it would have reached a stage called coronal mass ejection. In English, this is called a CME. If this CME hits our Earth, it will completely sweep away the magnetic field. But the AR4087 solar storm has not yet reached this stage. Or, nasa has said that it is not that strong. AR4087 is still close to the sun, so we don't have to be afraid. But there is a chance that it will return to Earth at any time.
Although the sun is necessary for life to survive, it is the same sun that destroys us. A solar storm from the sun can destroy the electromagnetic energy on Earth. It is because of the electromagnetic field that we can identify north and south. Not only that, but it also blocks the dangerous rays emanating from the sun. The reason why Mars is like this today is that there is no electromagnetic field there. Explosions from the sun are a normal thing. This has been happening for a long time. But the Earth has only been caught up in this once. When this happened, we were using only telegraph devices. We had not completely switched to electrical devices. But the telegraph service was completely affected.

Now, starting from cell phones, satellites, and nuclear reactor safety, computers are used. All of these will be destroyed by a solar storm. If that happens, it is said that it may take at least 30-40 years for us to recover from this damage. It is impossible to predict when and where satellites orbiting the Earth will fall. Nuclear reactors will explode. Banks and cell phones will not work. Many people keep their money in banks. So imagine what will happen to them? This is what scientists have warned.
