The sun made a solar storm. Solar storms are just what they sound like, storms. They are a lot of wind which we got a bit of, that is why scientists call it a glancing blow. Solar storms can mess with satellites. The storm was rated either strong or severe. During this storm it did not really do anything to our satellites, but this is not the worst one there will be. A worse will be in 2013. That is it's eleven year solar cycle. The storm was not bad because where it was pointing towards the Earth, if it was the storm could have been much worse.
When I read the title of this I was really confused, I had no clue what it was, and that is why I chose that passage. I still do not completely understand how it is made but I know the basic idea of a solar storm.

Wow, we only have 2 years till the next one. I hope it will be again a storm to avoid the worst things. Very good and interesting article. Good job
ReplyDeleteCool article.Wow! 2013 that is not so far away.
ReplyDeleteAbby, a solar storm is when the sun releases a burst of energy and wind and it heads towards the Earth's magnetic field. This is why the satellites orbiting the Earth are affected. Thank goodness the storm was not faced towards Earth. Good job on this, but be sure that you read through your sentences to make sure they make sense.
