Sun Can Paralyze The Earth in 2013

A massive solar blast could cause global havoc on Earth in 2013, causing power failures all over the world and destroying all satellite communication systems, has concluded in a conference held Monday.

NASA warned that an exacerbation in the Sun’s magnetic energy cycle, together with a number of nuclear reactions at its surface, both prediction for 2013, would generate huge levels of radiation.

The result would be a solar storm that would cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth, fried electrical networks worldwide for more hours, days or months. This would certainly normal life as we know, at a time of stagnation if not collapse.

Ironically, but naturally most modernized societies and countries of the world, completely dependent on technology powered by electricity, are most vulnerable in case of a solar storm.

For this reason, many experts met in June in Washington DC to discuss protecting Earth destroyers fire. NASA already uses dozens of satellites, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory, to study the threat.

Energy networks, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications, all could be felled by an intense solar activity. However, much of this disaster could be prevented, if you know the time when “attack”. Switching satellites in idle mode and disconnect the power transformer could protect these devices from the damaging effect of solar storm.
