About 14300 years ago, the most powerful solar storm ever came on earth. Scientists at Oulu University, Finland, studied the amount of radiocarbons in the fossil rings of the trees and discovered it. This storm can become a big threat to today’s world dependent on technology.
What is the solar storm?
Actually, the speed emanating from the sun energy and charged particles (protons) when collides with the Earth’s atmosphere, it is called a solar storm. These particles shake the magnetic field of the Earth and increase the amount of radioactive elements named radiocarbon (carbon-14). With the help of this radiocarbon, scientists find out the age of old things. & Nbsp;
Scientists saw the unusual growth of radiocarbons in the old rings of trees, after which research revealed that it was caused by a solar storm in 12,350 BC (January to April). This storm was so powerful that he sent 500 times more energy to the earth than the 2003 Halloween solar storm.
scientists first studied five major solar storms, which came in 994 AD, 775 AD, 663 BC, 5259 BCE and 7176 BC. These most powerful storms came in 775 AD, which is mentioned in Rane Chinese and Anglo-Saxon documents. The storm of 12,350 BC was even more impressive than 18%.
Why is the danger to today?
Today our world is dependent on communication system, satellite and electricity grid. In such a situation, such a big solar storm can cause heavy damage. The Carrington storm of 1859 burnt the telegraph wires. The 2003 Halloween storm disturbed the satellite orbit. After this, the 2024 ganon storm also shook the satellites. If the storm comes in 12,350 BC, then satellite, electricity and internet will be completely closed. However, today scientists are studying on such storms that do not damage satellite, communication system and power grid in future and our technology can be protected.
